One of the best four-mile-heat racers of her time (1841-1843); undoubtedly of stakes quality by modern standards. She was unbeaten until her last race, in which she was injured. Louisiana planter and horseman Thomas Jefferson Wells purchased half-interest in her as a yearling for $1,000 - a huge sum at that time - then later purchased the other half.Produced 13 foals, all raised in Louisiana, including Lecomte, who defeated Lexington; Prioress, Starke, War Dance, and Fanny Wells.
