My Miss Aurelia (foaled 16 March 2009) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse. As a two-year-old in 2011, she was unbeaten in four races including the Adirondack Stakes, Frizette Stakes and Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies and was voted American Champion Two-Year-Old Filly at the Eclipse Award. After missing the early part of the following season through injury she took her winning run to six with two more victories including a win over Questing in the Cotillion Stakes. She sustained her first defeat when second to Royal Delta in the Breeders' Cup Ladies Classic and was beaten in her only subsequent race that year. She finished third on her only appearance as a four-year-old and was retired in September 2014 to Stonestreet Farm. Background My Miss Aurelia is a bay mare with an irregularly-shaped white star bred in Kentucky by Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings. She was sired by Smart Strike, a Canadian stallion who was Leading sire in North America in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Her dam, My Miss Storm Cat, was a successful racemare who won five of her seven races between 2004 and 2006. As a descendant of the broodmare Flaring Top, My Miss Storm Cat came from the same branch of Thoroughbred family 8f which produced the British Classic Race winners Nijinsky, The Minstrel and Lahan. As a yearling, the filly was sent to the Keeneland sales in September where she was bought for $550,000 by George Bolton, who later sold a half-share in the filly back to her breeders. During her racing career, My Miss Aurelia, who was named after Bolton's mother, was officially owned in partnership by Bolton and Stonestreet Stables and was trained by Steve Asmussen. Racing career 2011: two-year-old season My Miss Aurelia began her racing career with two races at the Saratoga meeting in the summer of 2011. On July 22 she was ridden by Julien Leparoux in a maiden race over five and a half furlongs. The filly tracked the leaders before taking the lead inside the final furlong and kicking clear to win by a length from Delightful Magic and five others in a time of 1:03.59. In the following month the filly was moved up in class and distance for Grade II Adirondack Stakes over six and a half furlongs. Starting the odds-on favourite, she took the lead approaching the straight and got the better of a prolonged struggle with Millionreasonswhy to
