The Tony McEvoy trained mare was resuming from a spell following a Listed success at Caulfield last October and sprinted too well for her rivals to take the 1100 metre dash by a length.
The Messina Nymph is building an impressive record with five wins and two
placings from nine starts with prizemoney topping $200,000.A half-sister to Champion Singapore Sprinter Why Be, The Messina Nymph is one of six winners from Charybdis, a Roya Academy (USA) daughter of stakes-winner Balm in Gilead.
Charybdis has a yearling colt by Hinchinbrook that was interestingly snapped up by Mitchell McEvoy Racing for $90,000 at Magic Millions, no doubt on the back of the talent shown by his big sister!
Charybdis has another weanling colt by Hinchinbrook and was covered by Poet's Voice (GB) last year.
The Messina Nymph made it a stakes double for Widden Stud graduates with the Group III ATC TL Baillieu Handicap at Rosehill won by two year-old Stratum gelding Takedown, who was bred in partnership by Widden and retained to race.
Widden Stud have a sensational draft for the 2015 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale and to see them click here.
