Diversy Harbor Euthanized

Glen Hill Farm’s ‘TDN Rising Star’ Diversy Harbor (Curlin–Motokiks, by Storm Cat) was euthanized Tuesday due to complications from surgery to repair a pair of broken sesamoids. The 4-year-old incurred the injury during the GIII Santa Barbara H. at Santa Anita Apr. 18, in which she was pulled up by Hall of Fame pilot Gary Stevens rounding the second turn. 

The bay underwent surgery at Alamo Pintado Equine Medical Center in Santa Barbara, C.A. two days later with hopes of a future as a broodmare, and was given a good prognosis immediately following surgery. However, she got an infection three weeks later and began to show signs of rotation in her good leg, and had to be put down. 

“Heavy hearted to say Diversy Harbor didn’t make it,” Glen Hill Farm President Craig Bernick said via Twitter Tuesday. “She was a very good filly and a great patient. Her good foot rotated too much and she would have suffered if she had been around any longer.” 

Earning her TDN Rising Star after an impressive last to first debut victory on the Arcadia turf last January, Diversy Habor followed suit with a victory in that venue’s China Doll S. The bay continued to live up to her early promise with placings in the GI American Oaks, GII Honeymoon S., GIII Autumn Miss S., GIII Robert J. Frankel S. and GIII Providencia S. 
The Tom Proctor trainee gained that seemingly elusive first graded stakes victory this season in Santa Anita’s GII Buena Vista S. Feb. 16. She ended her career with a record of 12-3-4-1 and earnings of $377,690. 

Diversy Harbor was a half-sister to MGSW and GISP millionaire Keertana (Johar), and MGSW and GISP Snow Top Mountain (Najran). Her dam Motokiks is a half to Italian Highweight Knifebox (Diesis {GB}) and MGSW Parochial (Mehmet). Motokiks produced a colt by Lemon Drop Kid last year and a filly by Candy Ride (Arg) this term.
