Champion 2-year-old and Champion 3-year-old Filly. Filly Triple Crown winner. Inducted into Hall of Fame in 1976.
Undefeated, she went against Foolish Pleasure (that year's KY Derby winner) in a match race at Belmont Park on 6 July 1975. She hit her right ankle against the starting gate but seemed unfazed. She was ahead by 1/2 length when she inexplicably broke down but still fought to keep running. After surgery she thrashed wildly as if running and had to be put down, at 2:20am, after re-breaking her leg. Buried at Belmont Park, near the flagpole with nose pointed to the finish line.
