A report on the Coolmore website stated that the daughter of Galileo had succumbed to “a sudden illness”. “She was the loveliest, sweetest mare and will be greatly missed by all of those who took such great care of her during her time here,” said Coolmore manager James Mockridge.

She was one of three mares chosen by Coolmore on a first foray into breeding mares to Japanese sire sensation Deep Impact in 2013. Maybe's first foal was the black-type performer Pavlenko and, he was followed by the G1 Racing Post Trophy and 2,000 Guineas winner Saxon Warrior, who now stands at Coolmore. From a Swettenham Stud family which includes the Classic winners Continuous,Dancing Rain Dr Devious. Maybe was rested during the 2025 breeding season.
