Makybe Diva's First Filly Makes A$1.2 Million

Bidding on the first filly out of the legendary three-time G1 Melbourne Cup-winning mare Makybe Diva (GB) (Desert King {Ire}) opened at A$500,000 and at the end of the day, it was trainer Mark Kavanagh who signed the winning ticket on the chestnut daughter of Fusaichi Pegasus at A$1.2 million. “I was determined to get her,” Kavanagh commented. “She's the nicest filly I have seen in a  long time and I think she's worth the risk.” Representatives of the sales company were thrilled to have had the opportunity to offer the first produce of the champion racemare. “We are grateful that Tony Santic and the Makybe team have chosen Easter as the venue to sell Makybe Diva's first two foals and we congratulate him on another successful sale.”
