Trained by Anthony Freedman, he travelled up on the pace and kicked on strongly to win the 1100 metre maiden by a short half head.
Messerschmitt was a $140,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the Vinery Stud draft for Freedman Racing and is the second winner for Group II winner Night War, a half-sister by General Nediym to dual Group I winner Samaready.
Vinery Stud will offer the full sister to Messerschmitt at the 2018 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale as Lot 547.
Night War produced a colt foal by Press Statement last spring and is now back in foal to All Too Hard.
