JUST SILVIA (Justify) is set for her unveiling under Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher. A Whisper Hill homebred, Mandy Pope went to $1.4 million at the 2016 Keeneland November Sale to acquire the filly's dam Princesa Silvia (Medaglian d'Oro), who is a full-sister to MGISP Miss Besilu. Pope's buy has purple bloodlines that do not stop there. She hails from a strong female family which includes her half-brothers, Horse of the Year Saint Liam (Saint Ballado) and GISW Funtastic (More Than Ready). Plus, she counts as a half-sister GSW Quiet Giant (Giant's Causeway), the dam of multiple leading sire Gun Runner (Candy Ride {Arg]), and she is also a half to the dam of MGSW Lull (War Front).
