Shooting Star Thoroughbreds' young stallion Chance It   was represented by his first reported foal Jan. 4 at Jeff Crooks' Olsen and Crooks Acres near Ocala.

Bred by Jeff Crooks, the bay filly is out of the winning Big Drama  mare Jost Sayin . The dam, out of the Medaglia d'Oro   mare Jost d'Oro , hit the board 12 of 30 starts, had three wins, four seconds, and five thirds.

Multiple stakes-winning Chance It was second in his first start at age 2 in 2019 and went on to break his maiden in his second start at Gulfstream Park —garnering an eye-catching 110 Equibase Speed Figure.

The son of Currency Swap  won his next start in the Dr. Fager Stakes, was runner-up in the Affirmed Stakes, and went on to secure the victory in the In Reality Stakes by more than seven lengths, making him 2-Year-Old male champion among Florida-breds in 2019.

He went on to win the 2020 Mucho Macho Man Stakes before sustaining an injury in the Tampa Bay Derby (G2) when fifth. In his 4-year-old year, he was runner-up in the Smile Sprint Invitational Stakes (G3) and third in the Forego Stakes (G1) for trainer Saffie Joseph Jr.
