Son Of Mahler Makes Smart Start At Tyrella

Bective Abbey (5g Mahler - Sizing Kimberlite) shaped like a smart prospect when making an impressive debut in the Five-Year-Old Geldings Maiden at Tyrella on Saturday.

The Warren Ewing owned and trained chesnut raced prominently throughout under Dara McGill and led as they turned for home. Travelling best of the field approaching the final fence, he kept on well to win by five lengths with ease.

A trip to the sales ring is now on the cards for Bective Abbey, who was bred by Michael Shanahan.
