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.

Loving Gaby has a Snitzel filly to follow and was covered last spring by Aquis first time shuttler Aclaim (IRE).

Pierata gets a big sale ring result with the Loving Gaby filly selling for $800,000.

Pierata stands at Aquis in Queensland and has 32 yearlings catalogued for Magic Millions Book 1 and 2.
