Filly Triple Crown WinnerChampion 2-Year-Old (1974)Champion 3-Year-Old Filly (1974)Hall of Fame (1976)She had a wire to wire style & pure speed. Undefeated, she went up against the reigning Derby winner Foolish Pleasure in a battle of the sexes match race.
As she left the starting gate she hit her shoulder on the door & it forced all of her weight onto her right ankle but she seemed unfazed. She was ahead by 1/2 length when her ankle snapped but she refused to stop for several 100 yards. She received immediate surgery but as she awoke she thrashed wildly as if still running. She re-broke her leg & fractured her elbow. There was no choice she had to be put down. She was buried at Belmont under the flagpole, nose pointed towards the finish line.
