Winner of two of her past three starts
1st Benchmark 64, Sandown Lakeside 1200m, jumping from the widest barrier she led all the way for a dominant win. The race has proven to be a good form race with three winners coming out of the race since.
1st Maiden, Pakenham 1000m, showed good tactical speed to sit on pace, in the straight she let down strongly for a brave win, she recorded the third best last 800m and 600m sectionals of the meeting, two winners have come out of the race since.
Extremely Active Female Family
Her dam Acqume, was a Stakes performed 3YO, she was covered by Capitalist last season and her Snitzel yearling colt realised $550,000 this year at the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale. She also has a weanling sister to Motcombs. Acqume’s Stakes-winning half sister Invictus Salute was covered by Zoustar last season and had a Home Affairs filly offered at the 2025 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale.
Acqume is one of 40 Stakes performed descendants of ‘blue-hen’ mare Getting There, which include last season’s G1-winning 3YOs Ozzmosis and Griff.

“Motcombs was a clear standout as a yearling. She won her maiden and then backed up for a Metro win in what was essentially her first prep. She has just returned to work following a short spell which is likely to bring plenty of improvement and beyond racing her exceptional pedigree makes her a valuable breeding prospect. The filly is offered as part of the Halo Racing reduction.” - Will Bourne, Ciaron Maher Racing

Semana A Top-Class Race Mare
Won or placed at 16 of her 25 starts
1st G3 Triscay Stakes, 1200m, Randwick, defeating Olentia, C’est Magique etc.
“Ridden a bit quieter and her turn of foot seems to be pretty electric and powerful.” – Jockey Jason Collett
1st Listed Magic Millions Cup, 1400m, Gold Coast, by 2 lengths, defeating 16 rivals including G1 filly Revolutionary Miss, G2 winner Loch Eagle, multiple Stakes winner Zarastro etc.
“That was a pretty big win. She had no cover all the way. She looked like she worked most of the way and was very strong to the line.” – Trainer Ciaron Maher
2nd G1 Coolmore Classic, 1500m, Rosehill, beaten 0.3 lengths by Zougotcha, beating 15 rivals including Kimochi, Tropical Squall, Hinged, Revolutionary Miss, Deny Knowledge, Madame Pommery etc.
2nd G1 Tatt’s Tiara, 1400m, Eagle Farm, beaten a length by Bella Nipotina, defeating 15 rivals including Bubble Rock, Roll On High, Roots, Lekvarte, Vienna Princess C’est Magique, Opal Ridge etc
3rd G1 Queen Of The Turf, 1600m, Randwick, beaten 1.3 lengths by Zougotcha and Atishu, defeating Makarena, Ruthless Dame, Tropical Squall, Olentia, Campionessa, Madame Pommery etc.
4th G1 Winx Stakes, 1400m, Randwick, beaten 1.3 lengths by Via Sistina, Zougotcha and Fangirl, defeating Zardozi, Riff Rocket, Buckaroo, Atishu, Tropical Squall etc.
A Mare with Racing Upside
As a 5YO who has made just 25 starts, she still looks to have racing upside.
In Australia in recent years, there have been a host of mares who have produced their very best form as older mares including G1 winners like Via Sistina (aged 7), Fangirl (6), Atishu (7), Bella Nipotina (7), Deny Knowledge (7), Pride Of Jenni (6), Mariamia (6), Roch ‘N’ Horse (6), Snapdancer 6) etc.
During the 2024/25 Australian Racing season, there were 34 races worth $1m or more for which Semana was eligible to run in, which, assuming the retention of the existing racing calendar for the 2025/26 season, means that there will be an abundance of options for her again next season!
A Daughter of a high-achieving Mare
Semana is the most accomplished runner of over 210 runners by her sire. She is also the second highest-priced yearling filly ever sold by her sire at $200,000.
Her half sister, the Stakes winner Gala Queen (Deep Field), looks hugely talented and broke the track record when winning the Listed Morphettville Guineas at her penultimate start.
Festivity is the dam of the highest-priced Farnan yearling sold in 2025, a colt who realised $750,000 to the bid of James Harron/Tony Fung at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale in January. She has a weanling colt by the same sire and was covered by champion sire I Am Invincible in 2024.

Fast, black type Australian mares have produced G1 winners... Lady Of Camelot, Joliestar, Fangirl, Startantes, Riff Rocket, Mazu etc.
Racing Upside
Tiz Invincible can continue to race on this preparation and target the G1 Tatt’s Tiara over 1400m at Eagle Farm. She had trialled impressively before her first up run in the G2 Sapphire Stakes. In the Spring she can contest races like the $2m Invitation Stakes 1400m, G2 Hot Danish Stakes 1400m, G2 Rose Of Kingston Stakes 1400m, G2 Golden Pendant 1400m, G2 Sheraco Stakes 1200m etc.
