Keeneland has supplemented nine horses–including Diva Delite (Repent), dam of champion and $13.9 million earner Midnight Bisou, and Expo Gold (Johannesburg), dam of champion and $2-million earner Swiss Skydiver–to Book 1 of the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

Both Diva Delite and Expo Gold are in foal to Uncle Mo, and both are consigned by Hunter Valley Farm, agent.

Grade III winner Diva Delite is also the dam of Grade III winner Verifying (Justify) and stakes winner Stage Left (Congrats). She is out of stakes-placed winner Tour Hostess, by Tour d'Or. Purchased for $80,000 by Jeff Bloom at the OBS Spring Sale in 2017, the 2019 champion older dirt mare later realized $5-million at the Fasig-Tipton Fall Mixed Sale in 2020 before re-selling for $5.5 million at Keeneland November in 2022. Diva Delite, who brought $750,000 at Fasig Tipton in 2018, returned the next year to that venue to bring $1.2 million while in foal to Justify.

Expo Gold, also the dam of stakes-placed Miss Hot Legs (Verrazano), is a winning daughter of the Grade III-placed mare Clouds of Gold, by Strike the Gold. Swiss Skydiver, the 2020 champion sophomore filly, was a $35,000 KEESP yearling purchase by Ken McPeek before bringing $4.7 million at the Fasig-Tipton in the fall of 2021. Expo Gold most recently sold for $950,000 while in foal to Catholic Boy at the Keeneland November Sale in 2020.

Additional broodmares/broodmare prospects supplemented to Book 1:

  • Class Clown, a winning daughter of Practical Joke from the family of Lady Of Camelot (Aus), winner of the 2024 G1 Golden Slipper. Out of Miss Lavinia, by Speightstown, she also is closely related to Breeders' Cup winners More Than Real and Structor and is consigned by Blandford Stud (Padraig Campion), agent, as a broodmare prospect.
  • Q Go Girl, dam of Grade II-placed winner Stretch Ride, who is in foal to Into Mischief. She is consigned by Claiborne Farm, agent.
  • Rozay Summer, consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency, agent, is a half-sister to Grade I winner Beyond Brilliant. A winning daughter of Mitole, she is out of the winning First Defence mare Summer On the Lawn. Rozay Summer is cataloged as a racing or broodmare prospect.
  • Sea Dancer, a winning daughter of Mastery who is a half-sister to 2024 Grade I winner Johannes–a contender for the $2-million GI FanDuel Breeders' Cup Mile following four consecutive graded stakes wins. Consigned by Brookdale Farm, agent for Cuyathy LLC, as a racing or broodmare prospect, Sea Dancer is out of stakes-placed winner Cuyathy, by Congrats.
  • Top Mission, dam of winning juvenile filly Vixen, who was runner-up last time out in the GI Johnnie Walker Natalma S. at Woodbine. Highgate Sales, agent, consigns the 8-year-old Top Mission, a winning daughter of Noble Mission (GB) who is in foal to Mitole.

Two weanling colts have also been supplemented to Book 1:

  • A son of Into Mischief who is a half-brother to Grade II winner Stanford and stakes winner Hedge Fund. Out of Rosy Humor, by Distorted Humor, he is consigned by Warrendale Sales, agent.
  • A son of Speaker's Corner out of the aforementioned Q Go Girl who is consigned by Claiborne Farm, agent.
