A multiple stakes winner in Germany, A Raving Beauty ran second in the Group 1 Premio Lydia Tesio in Italy in October 2017 in her final start in Europe before coming to the U.S. to join the barn of trainer Chad Brown. In her stateside debut, A Raving Beauty uncoiled a powerful closing rally to win the Grade 3 Beaugay Stakes by three lengths.
Her winning streak continued on Belmont Stakes day in the Grade 1 Longines Just a Game Stakes, where she edged past the leaders at the top of the stretch and ran on to a 3/4-length victory. After finishing third in the Grade 1 Diana Stakes in July and fourth as the 9-10 favorite in the Grade 2 Ballston Spa Stakes in August, both at Saratoga, A Raving Beauty returned to the winner’s circle with a front-running win in the Grade 1 First Lady Stakes going a mile at Keeneland in October.
Stretching out to 1 3/8 miles for the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf on Nov. 3 at Churchill Downs, A Raving Beauty again set the pace and held on doggedly in deep stretch before tiring just a bit late to finish third.
