Cambridge mare Nigella Lane was runner-up in last year’s Listed Clubs NZ Wairarapa Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m) and she was able to go one better in this year’s edition at Tauherenikau on Waitangi Day.
“I did think she would be hard to beat today as she was dropping a long way in class and with the allowance she got, she was at a very competitive weight."
