Trained by Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr, Hell Hound won her only two starts as a juvenile before stepped up to Black Type company and appreciated a drop back to a Benchmark 72 over 1400m.

She finished with a well timed run for Beau Mertens to snatch a head win taking her overall record to three wins from 10 starts with prizemoney just shy of $160,000.

A homebred for Phoenix Thoroughbreds, Hell Hound is a half-sister to Group II winner Letzbeglam and stakes-placed Snazz ‘n’ Charm and is the fourth winner from four foals to race from well-bred import Miss Charming (USA), a sibling to dual Group I winner Tout Charmant and Group III winner Forest Grove.
