At 3, he won the G3 Indiana Derby and placed second in the G1 Toyota Blue Grass Stakes, G1 H. Allen Jerkens Memorial Stakes, and G3 Matt Winn Stakes. He was on the board 7 out of 11 starts – 64% – with career earnings of nearly $853,000.

She also won the Gasparilla and Suncoast Stakes. She is a daughter of REPENT, winner of the G2 Kentucky Jockey Club, G2 Louisiana Derby, G3 Risen Star, and G3 Kentucky Cup Juvenile Stakes. He was runner up in the G1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and G1 Travers Stakes.
     
  • DIVA DELITE also produced VERIFYING’s 1/2 sister, 2019 Champion Older Dirt Female Eclipse Award recipient MIDNIGHT BISOU.  In four seasons, she won 13 graded stakes – including 5 Grade 1 races and earned nearly $7.5 million. In 2019, DIVA DELIGHT was purchased at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Fall Mixed Sale for $1.2 million while in foal with VERIFYING.
