 Silks and Media:  


Strengths: She took her game to a new level in 2007, winning four stakes, including the G2 Barbara Fritchie at Laurel. She raced in three other graded stakes, placing in all of them.

Weaknesses: Going into the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint, she had losses to contenders Maryfield and Wild Gams already on her resume, and had yet to take down a true first-class divisional contender.

In the Genes: Sire, Royal Academy, enjoyed a short, yet sensational career, winning four of seven starts including the ’90 Breeders’ Cup Mile. He’s been represented by five previous Breeders’ Cup starters, including ’01 Mile winner Val Royal. Her dam, Mere Presence, was winless from seven career starts.

Status: She has been retired from racing and will be bred to Ghostzapper in 2008. It was indicated that she would sell at the Keeneland November sale, but she didn't go through the ring.

Bet You Didn’t Know: New York-breds are winless from 26 previous Breeders’ Cup starts.
