About
Divine Effort is a 5yo bay gelding (male) from Australia trained by Samantha McGuren in Grafton. He was sired by Divine Prophet out of Optimist. He has won one race so far. On 7 Apr 2026 at Grafton, he secured his most important win, taking the $27000.00 Maiden Plate. He has been a profitable horse for punters, and backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 225% return on investment.
