Verifying's first reported foal, a filly out of Selective Memory
Pleasant Acres Stallions announce the first reported foal for Verifying , a strong and healthy filly out of the Malibu Moon mare Selective Memory . Born Jan. 25 at 5:30 a.m., the foal is owned by Belvedere Farm near Reddick, Fla.
"There is so much to say about Verifying and the potential for his progeny to take the racing industry by storm," said Pleasant Acres director of stallion services Christine Jones. "A half brother to a six-time grade 1 winner of nearly $14 million—Midnight Bisou—Verifying is a dual-hemisphere stallion who had a very successful breeding debut in Florida and Argentina in 2024. This first filly is an exceptional representation of his impeccable pedigree, and we can't wait to see the others as they arrive."
Verifying is a graded stakes winner and three-time grade 1-placed son of Triple Crown winner Justify . He was second in the Champagne Stakes (G1) at 2, and at 3 won the Indiana Derby (G3) and was second in the Blue Grass Stakes (G1), H. Allen Jerkens Memorial Stakes (G1), and Matt Winn Stakes (G3). On the board in 64% of his starts, Verifying earned $852,706.
Verifying's dam, Florida-bred graded stakes-winner Diva Delite , showed class and stamina to win the Florida Oaks (G3) going 1 1/16 miles on dirt. She also won the Gasparilla and Suncoast stakes, both at Tampa Bay Downs, and placed in the Beaumont Stakes (G2) at Keeneland.
