Emphatic Ecumenical impresses with first-up win

Talented mare Ecumenical signalled she’s poised for a big spring with a brilliant return to racing at Morphettville on Saturday.

The second leg of training double for veteran Murray Bridge horseman Mick Huxtable, the daughter of Cornerstone Stud stallion Zebedee, made it five wins from 16 starts and took prizemoney beyond $414,000 in the process.

It was an emphatic win, coming off the speed to roll past rivals at her first start since running 10th in the Centaurea Stakes at Morphettville in May.

Purchased from the draft of Mill Park Stud at the Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale by her trainer for just $14,000, the return on investment for the connections of Ecumencial has been phenonemal.

Ecumenical was ridden by John Letts Medallist Jessica Eaton who was also aboard stablemate Perfect Route who scored earlier in the day.
