Strengths: Gifted with natural speed, capable of :45-and-change opening half-miles, but relaxed enough to rate a few lengths off the pace. Spent bulk of her career training at Delaware Park and Oaklawn, two of the most-demanding, endurance-building surfaces in the US.

Weaknesses: Most of her races have been against smallish fields and she's not battle-tested at championship-level distances. Hoof injury cut her '06 spring-summer short.

In The Genes: Sire, Awesome Again, won the 1998 Breeders' Cup Classic at Churchill over what many consider the greatest field ever assembled. Awesome Again also sired current distaffers Dubai Escapade and Spun Sugar. Dam, Gift of Dance, is half-sister to multiple European Group 1 winner Black Minnaloushe.

Status: Retired after suffering a slab fracture in the left knee during a run in the Apple Blossom, April 7, 2007, her second race following her win in the 2006 Breeders' Cup Distaff.

Bet You Didn't Know: Filly has been in the barn of not one, but two Kentucky Derby-winning trainers – John Servis and Mike Matz.
