After being sold for a world record price as a yearling in 1890, she was undefeated as a two-year-old in 1891, winning races against her own sex and defeating some of the year's leading colts. She went on to become the dominant British three-year-old of 1892, claiming the Fillies’ Triple Crown by winning the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket, the Oaks at Epsom and the St Leger at Doncaster.

La Flèche (P32)
''La Flèche'' (P32) is a patrol vessel owned and operated by the Seychelles Coast Guard. ''La Flèche'' was donated to Seychelles by the United Arab Emirates, with a sister ship, on April 1, 2011. Although the Seychelles are a small country, it is located off the Horn of Africa, strategically close to the operation of active pirates. Other Indian Ocean nations see their donations of patrol vessels to Seychelles as a strategic investment in fighting piracy. Through the Seychelles Coast Guard's employment of ''La Flèche'', and other ships in her small fleet, Seychelles has been able to arrest, try and convict many pirates. In 2013 the UAE paper ''The National'' reported that Seychelles was then imprisoning more than 100 convicted pirates.
