A rare opportunity to race a daughter of the legendary mare, Makybe Diva. She’s by prolific G1 sire Written Tycoon and was purchased by Duncan for A$500,000 from Lime Country’s Magic Millions Yearling draft.

An impressive filly out of legendary race mare Makybe Diva by leading Group One sire Written Tycoon.
A winner of no fewer than 15 races, Makybe Diva’s prolific career was headlined by victories in the G1 Melbourne Cup (three times), G1 Cox Plate, G1 BMW Stakes, G1 Australian Cup and G1 Sydney Cup. She has also been a genuine producer at stud, leaving five winners, including stakes performer Divanation.
This filly presents a rare opportunity to get involved in racing the last foal out of the great mare to be offered at public auction.
A quality colt from the first crop of multiple Group 1 winner Artorius, out of the winning So You Think mare Discreet Charm. Successful over 1300 metres, his dam is impeccably related, being a half-sister to Group 1 sire Vanbrugh and stakes placegetter South of Houston.
Duncan's Comments
“This filly oozes class. She's a strong, athletic type and is the last foal out of Australian icon Makybe Diva to offered at public auction so holds plenty of residual value as a broodmare when she finishes her racing career. ”
