In foal to Justify, Midnight Bisou's dam headed to auction

Diva Delite, the dam of five-time Grade 1 winner Midnight Bisou, will be offered at Fasig-Tipton's November Sale on Nov. 4 in foal to Triple Crown winner Justify, it was announced Friday.

The 12-year-old mare, a graded stakes winner herself, will be consigned by Taylor Made Sales, agent for Breeze Easy LLC.

"We can't wait to bring Diva Delite to the market," said Taylor Made's Alex Payne. "She's shown her ability to throw a future Hall of Fame filly like Midnight Bisou already, and the best is yet to come for her."

Midnight Bisou, who will go through the ring at the same sale, is undefeated in six starts in 2019, all in stakes company, and most recently bested Elate in Saratoga's Aug. 25 Personal Ensign Stakes (G1). The 4-year-old filly has also won this year's Ogden Phipps Stakes (G1) and Apple Blossom Handicap (G1).

Offered last year while in foal to the late Pioneerof the Nile, Diva Delite sold for $750,000 at the Fasig-Tipton sale. On the racetrack, she won eight of 17 starts, including the 2010 Florida Oaks (G3) at Tampa Bay Downs.
