About
Nigella Lane, a 6yo bay mare, is trained by Ralph Manning in Cambridge. She is by the stallion Niagara out of the dam Casabella Lane. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $257,430, she is considered a horse of above‑average ability. On 10 May 2025 at Arawa Park, ridden by K Myers, she secured her biggest victory in the $100,000 Open Handicap, beating Dark Destroyer. She has been a profitable prospect for bettors; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 104% return on investment.
