A Raving Beauty (Ger) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}), Santa Monica (GB)(Mastercraftsman {Ire}) and Fourstar Crook (Freud), widely considered to be three of the top turf mares in the country, will be entered to sell with Elite Sales in November, it was announced Sunday. All three are based in New York with trainer Chad Brown. A Raving Beauty captured the GI Just a Game S. June 9 and was last seen finishing third in the GI Diana S. July 21; Fourstar Crook is twice Grade I-placed and has won the GII Hillsborough S. and GII New York S. in 2018; and Santa Monica recently won the GII Dance Smartly S. at Woodbine June 30.
“We're thankful Mrs. John Magnier, Sol Kumin, Michael Dubb, Deron Pearson and trainer Chad Brown chose Elite to consign these top-caliber prospects currently in peak form at the top of their division. We've seen exceptional success with our boutique, high-end sales operation having sold 53 of 59 lots, averaging over $394,000 in our first year and we attribute this success largely in part to our loyal owners and supporters.”
Elite Sales plans to be active at both the Keeneland November Sale and the Fasig-Tipton November Sale. Nominations close Aug. 1 and Aug. 17, respectively.
