Consigned for sale by Segenhoe, the beautiful bay filly was much admired and sparked keen bidding before Ciaron Maher won the day with a final bid of $800,000.

Maher trained the Phoenix Thoroughbred owned Loving Gaby throughout her career and the daughter of I Am Invincible was fourth in the Golden Slipper before placing in both the Group I ATC Sires Produce and Champagne Stake and then trained on to be even better at three.

The Champion 3YO Filly of her generation, she won the Group I MVRC Manikato Stakes and William Reid Stakes against the older sprinters and was also placed in the Newmarket Handicap, Sprint Classic and Lightning Stakes at Flemington.
