Widden Sires Quinella Group Three

Tara Madgwick - Saturday May 13
The Group III SAJC Sires Produce Stakes at Morphettville on Saturday produced a thrilling finish with Nicconi filly Time Awaits finishing too fast for Sebring filly Broadband to snatch a narrow victory in the 1400 metre contest.

NicconiTrained by Tony McEvoy, Time Waits was second to Broadband at her previous start in the Group III SAJC Breeders Stakes, but was able to reverse the result this time around with a step up in distance.

Bred by Pipeliner Bloodstock and retained to race in partnership, Time Awaits has the overall record of three wins and two seconds from seven starts and has banked over $266,000 in prizemoney.

Time Awaits is the first foal of placed Danzero mare Bon Ton, a daughter of Group II WATC Oaks winner Mystic Chantry.

Time Awaits is one of 11 stakes-winners for Widden Stud's popular quiet achiever Nicconi, who covered his biggest ever book of mares in 2016.

226 mares visited Nicconi last spring at a fee of $11,000 and as a result his fee for 2017 has been raised to $16,500.
