Maykbe Diva's half-sister wins at Ballarat

Melbourne

Thursday 10 October 2013, 4:59pm

A half-sister to three-time Melbourne Cup winner Makybe Diva has broken maiden ranks with a comprehensive win at Ballarat on Thursday.

The breakthrough victory for La Amistad came at the four-year-old mare's fourth start.

By leading sire Redoute's Choice, La Amistad is part owned by Makybe Diva's owner Tony Santic.

Co-trainer Wayne Hawkes said La Amistad was "just a baby who is going somewhere".

"That's why we are happy to be here today in weak opposition - we were just trying to get a score on the board," he told TVN after the 2200-metre race.

He said La Amistad was still 12 months away from being at her best.
