Winner of the Group 2 Lowther Stakes at two, she was outstanding when winning the 1,000 Guineas (May 1998) by five lengths from subsequent Oaks winner Shahtoush; started favourite against the colts in the Derby, but finished ninth; later sustained a hairline fracture of a hind pastern when being prepared for the Sussex Stakes; her failure to recapture top form in two runs at four was a big disappointment, although she was third in the Group 2 Falmouth Stakes
