Tara Madgwick - Saturday Apr 4

A homebred for Ultra Thoroughbreds trained by Grant and Alana Williams, Essentric Nature continued his rise through the grades to score a head win for Lucy Fiore.

With seven wins from 18 starts and prizemoney topping $300,000, Essentric Nature is the third stakes-winner among six winners from nine foals to race from top producer Generous Nature, a daughter of stakes-winner La Lagune and half-sister to the dam of Group I winner Hasahalo, who is also by Savabeel.
