About

Divine Romance is a 5yo gelding bred in the United States and conditioned by Michael V. Simone. He is by Divining Rod out of the mare Imagistic. To date he has captured seven victories. His biggest triumph came on 16 Oct 2023 at Laurel Park, where he secured the $36,000 claimers race. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors; staying with him throughout his career would have yielded roughly a 30% return on investment.
