Diva Puts On A Show…
After Eden’s Causeway (Giant’s Causeway) (lot 1867), the dam of GI Las Virgenes S. winner Eden’s Moon (Malibu Moon) in foal to Frankel (GB) was bought back at 1.2 millions guineas, there was some compensation for vendor Brook Stud when the next lot through the ring, Mango Diva (GB) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}) (lot 1868), was knocked down to James Wigan of London Thoroughbred Services for 525,000gns.
The Antoniades family’s 4-year-old homebred out of G3 Golden Daffodil S. winner Mango Mischief (Ire) (Desert King {Ire}) has won on four occasions, including at Group 2, Group 3 and listed levels. Dwayne Woods of Brook Stud said, “If she were mine she’d be heading to California because she loves the rock-hard ground. She’ll win a Group 1.”
He continued, “We foaled her and we have her dam at home. We keep all their mares. We have a yearling full-sister to her that we’ve retained and the mare’s in foal to Sepoy.”
