On July 12 of 2009, the filly made an impressive score at Fort Erie for the annual Prince of Wales Stakes. In which, she placed a decent second place. Drawing chute 2 apparently. Yet, the filly came and beat Queen's Plate winner Eye of the Leopard, in that race of over $500,000, and finished behind winner, Gallant.

She did not compete in the Breeders Stakes, though.

Just recently she ran in the great Alabama G1 and finished a strong second behind a great winner, Careless Jewel.

She will be running in the Selene at Woodbine, if she wins she will pass the $1 million dollar mark in earnings.
