in the straight. She was unable to mount a serious challenge to Royal Delta but finished second, one and a half lengths behind the winner and one and a quarter lengths ahead of Include Me Out in third. On her final appearance of the year, My Miss Aurelia was dropped back in distance to contest the Grade I La Brea Stakes over seven furlongs at Santa Anita on December 26. She started the 2/5 favorite despite conceding five pounds to her opponents, but was beaten into third place behind Book Review and Reneesgotzip. 2013: four-year-old season My Miss Aurelia remained in training as a four-year-old, but made only one appearance. On March 16 she was made favorite for the Grade III Azeri Stakes over nine furlongs at Oaklawn Park, but after racing in second place for much of the race, she was unable to make progress in the closing stages and finished third, five and a half lengths behind the winner Tiz Miz Sue. In August 2013, after spending some time at Stonestreet Stable's Farm in Florida, My Miss Aurelia's training was taken over by Todd Pletcher. The filly was being prepared for a return in the Punkin Pie Stakes at Belmont in October, but was withdrawn after sustaining a hoof injury described as "shedding a frog". 2014: five-year-old season More than sixteen months after her previous race, My Miss Aurelia returned in a minor race over seven furlongs at Saratoga on 21 July and finished third of the four runners. She was retired from racing in September 2014 and relocated to Stonestreet Farms. She is in foal to Tapit for the 2016 season.
