Whilst working with Magic Millions, Bella was recruited by Racing.com. This next step in her journey led her to moving to Melbourne, where her dreams became a reality.
Ever since Bella was a young girl watching from the sidelines with awe (aka. hanging over the mounting yard fence), Bella had dreamt of becoming an on-air Mounting Yard Analyst.
At Racing.com, Bella quickly became a respected media broadcaster and was regarded as one of Victoria’s leading Mounting Yard Analysts. During her 18 months at the organisation, Bella was known as a “great judge and natural talent” amongst punters, owners, and trainers across Australia.
Bella’s remarkable record of success in the Mounting Yard alongside her expansive knowledge of racing, lead her to become highly regarded and respected within the industry.
Bella was loved by the Racing.com audience for her natural charisma and talent, and became known as a bright, bubbly and enthusiastic broadcaster.

Big Bella's Best
"Big Bella's Best"
I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in 2022 after struggling with a wide array of symptoms, the most upsetting being rapid, uncontrollable weight gain.
PCOS is a complex hormonal condition and one of the most common causes of female infertility.
As a result of the sudden weight gain, I started to agonise mentally with my own body image issues. Being unhappy with the way I looked whilst being in the media and on TV for Racing.com had its own immense mental challenges.
Then, the online trolling and body shaming started on social media.
For months, I swept comments under the carpet, but countless posts from many different accounts kept flooding my social media, growing, becoming louder and feeling relentless.
I reached breaking point when I discovered an anonymous account called “Big Bella’s Best” on Twitter, which had been hurling sickening insults about my appearance and weight for weeks.
Enough was enough and I had to speak up.
I received an unimaginable amount of support from members of the racing community and from those outside our industry, and within a few hours the accounts were deleted.
I understand that being in the media can result in online bullying and harassment, social media can be a dark and brutal place.
I can cop criticism of my work, I have a thick skin for anything written negatively about myself professionally, but I drew the line at my physical appearance being assaulted – this, I will never tolerate.
My weight has nothing to do with my worth, and my appearance doesn't impact my ability.
