Mela Strength (2020) Horse
About
Mela Strength is a 5yo bay gelding trained by Peter Wrensch. He is sired by the stallion Silvano out of the dam Mela Stregata and has secured two victories to date. On 25 July 2024 at Durbanville, he claimed his biggest triumph, winning the $65,312 Perfectly Placed Maiden Plate. The horse has been lucrative for bettors throughout his campaign, and backing him over his career would have yielded a 50% return on investment.
