More Than a Diva Tops Inglis Digital USA Sale, Sold to Chasanoff

More Than a Diva sold for $50,000 to buyer Robert Chasanoff as the top lot at the Inglis Digital USA February Sale, which closed on Feb. 6. The winning 6-year-old broodmare prospect, consigned as Hip 29, carried a pedigree and female-family profile that drew attention from buyers looking to blend racetrack performance with breeding upside.

Inglis Digital USA staged the online auction as a focused marketplace for broodmares, pregnant mares and racing prospects, with bidding open through Feb. 6 and the first lot closing at 2 p.m. Eastern followed by three-minute increments for successive offerings. The catalog featured 45 entries based across Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York and Virginia, and included one stallion season and pregnant mares with in-utero foals by Goldencents, Grazen, King for a Day and Pappacap. Inspection availability in eight states reflected the company’s push to provide local options to a dispersed buyer base.

More Than a Diva is a daughter of More Than Ready out of the Unbridled’s Song mare Diva Style and was available for inspection at Clearbrook Farm in Paris, Kentucky. Reports described her as "out of a half-sister to Tiz the Law," and also as "out of a half sister to classic winner and prominent young sire Tiz the Law." Another account provided deeper family context: out of the Unbridled's Song mare Diva Style, whose trio of winners also includes SW Haute Diva (Constitution), who is being pointed for the Kentucky Oaks trail by trainer Patrick Biancone after winning the Cash Run Stakes at Gulfstream Park Jan. 1. That report added that her second dam is the GSW Tizfiz (Tiznow), "who is herself the dam of Tiz the Law and her extended female family includes sire Fury Kapcori (Tiznow)." The mare was bred by JSM Equine and consigned by Last Laugh Stables.

Auction dynamics leaned toward the middle of the market, a tone the operator highlighted after the sale. Inglis Digital USA CEO Kyle Wilson said, "We had some really solid trade in the middle of the market," and added, "I'm excited for our customers, because I think they got some really nice mares. We're working on getting a few more moved, so overall, we're pleased with our start to 2026." Wilson also noted, "We're thrilled to begin our second full year in operation," and encouraged buyers to review the catalog as opportunities continue to emerge.

For buyers and breeders, the sale underscored two trends: digital platforms are normalizing routine broodmare trade across multiple states, and pedigrees linked to recent classic winners still carry tangible commercial value even at modest price levels. Jeanie’s Faith, a half-sister to the unbeaten 3-year-old So Happy who "turned heads" in the Grade 2 San Vicente Stakes, was among other catalog highlights pointing to future stakes campaigns and mating opportunities.

Offerings that finished under reserve remain available for purchase on the platform, and entries for the March sale are being accepted through Feb. 23 with a catalog slated for Feb. 27 and bidding to close March 3. For owners and pinhookers, More Than a Diva’s $50,000 result is a reminder that solid female families and digital reach can translate into real resale and breeding value as the broodmare season ramps up.
