Multiple Grade I winner A Raving Beauty (Mastercraftsman) foaled a filly by Justify in Japan. The filly was bred by Oiwake Farm.

Bred in Germany, gray A Raving Beauty rolled to victory in the 2018 Grade I Just A Game Stakes and Grade I First Lady Stakes. That same year she finished a strong third in the Grade I Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf behind Eclipse Award winner Sistercharlie and Wild Illusion. A Raving Beauty sold for $2 million at the 2018 Fasig-Tipton November Sale.

Stakes winner Rhythm In Shoes (Rhythm) foaled the first filly by multiple Grade I-winning millionaire Hoppertunity. Rhythm In Shoes is the dam of seven winners from eight to race. 

A winner of eight graded stakes races, Hoppertunity won the Grade I Clark Handicap as a three-year-old over older males and the Grade I Jockey Club Gold Cup at five. He was a graded stakes winner every year he ran, and only finished worse than fourth twice in his 39 race career. Hoppertunity is the richest stallion to retire to the Mid-Atlantic region.
