In the great mare’s favour is the fact her babies, while all slow, have gotten a little better each time one has arrived.

And she looks like she might meld better with sprinting stallions.

Time will tell and she has an unraced 3YO, a 2YO and now this foal to improve her name in the breeding barn.

A four-year-old daughter of Makybe Diva has been snapped up for $125k on Inglis Digital’s most recent catalogue that ended on Wednesday.

Avila, an unraced mare by Written Tycoon out of the three-time Melbourne Cup-winner was purchased by owner of stallion Russian Camelot, John Wheeler.

Despite the Diva’s seven progeny who’ve made it to the racetrack sharing an underwhelming record, the opportunity to buy into the family of the seven-time Group 1-winner was an opportunity Wheeler simply couldn’t let slip.

“It’s a bit hard to walk away from a family like Makybe Diva’s, there isn’t going to be any more,” he said.

“The family is a strong family, a lot of the progeny haven’t raced as well as the dam, but they have raced and they have won, so at the end of the day you can only say there’s a chance.”

Wheeler confirmed Avila was purchased as a breeding proposition, to be served by Russian Camelot in the coming months.

“I’ll send her up to Three Bridges with Toby Liston and his family, I’m sure they’ll do a good job,” Wheeler said.

“I’m happy, she’s going to go to Russian Camelot, I’m looking forward to hopefully finding a decent runner from them.

“Any breeding like racing is a gamble, if there was any certainty in it, there’d be no disappointed owners of horses sending it to a Werribee maiden.

“These things tend to run in generations, if you’ve got an active family and you can put it to what I hope is a very good sire in Russian Camelot I’m very happy.”

Avila is the eighth progeny of Makybe Diva and finished sixth in a seven horse jump out field over 900m at Murtoa late last month before being put up for sale.

Of her nine progeny to date, only Divanation, Taqneen, and Rockstardom have won above maiden grade.

Makybe Diva’s progeny to date:

Rockstardom (Galileo) – Danny O’Brien – 12: 2-0-2 – prizemoney: $29,015

Terrifictonka, Makybe Diva’s last foal, set for debut

Terrifictonka, the 10th and final foal of Melbourne Cup legend Makybe Diva, is set to debut at Kembla Grange on Saturday. The five-year-old daughter of More Than Ready has been retained by breeder Tony Santic after Makybe Diva was retired from stud duties in 2019.

Now under the care of trainer Clarry Conners, Terrifictonka will be ridden by Jean Van Overmeire over 1400 meters in Race 6. Conners, who took over from Anthony and Sam Freedman, is optimistic about her debut, saying, “She’s coming along okay, and I think there’s a win in her. She’s a stayer for sure.”

Conners plans to race Terrifictonka up on the pace, hoping the long straight at Kembla will suit her style. “It wouldn’t shock me (to win), the plan is to try and win,” Conners said. Currently, Terrifictonka is a $10 chance with Ladbrokes.

Terrifictonka is the last of Makybe Diva’s progeny to race, following a challenging journey that included a back injury requiring a long spell. Despite these hurdles, Conners is confident in her potential, with plans to step her up to 1800 meters after her debut.

Makybe Diva, who recently celebrated her 26th birthday at Flemington, leaves a lasting legacy, with Terrifictonka aiming to add to it on the track.
