Comfortable winner of 5.5f Ellis Park maiden on debut in July 2024 but held in Grade 1s at Saratoga (7f) in August and at Belmont (1m) in October. Highly tried at two following debut win at Ellis Park and would have run out the easy winner of a 5.5f fillies' optional claiming race at Fair Grounds on her first start at three, but for jinking left and unseating her rider. Doubled her tally when scoring at Indiana Grand in first-time blinkers in June 2025 and went close in a conditions race afterwards.
