Alexandrova started her career in the Listed Balanchine stakes. Also in the field was Group 1 placed pair Ugo Fire & Ardbrea Lady, She finished 6th. Alexandrova got off the mark in a maiden at Tralee before finding all but Nannina too good in the Group 1 Fillies mile on just her fourth start.
She made her classic season campaign in the Group 3 Musidora, she was beaten by the talented Short Skirt. Alexandrova then contested the Group 1 Epsom Oaks where she had the second horse six lengths behind her. She then followed up in the Irish oaks over a month later and completed the treble in the Yorkshire Oaks. She had cemented herself as a truly outstanding mare and a hugely exciting broodmare prospect for Coolmore.
As well a having three Group 1's to her name, Alexandrova also had the pedigree. She was a 3/4 sister to Group 1 2yo Magical Romance, who later sold for a world record 4.600,000gns at the Tattersalls December Mare sale in 2006.
Alexandrova was also a full sister to Masterofthehorse, who was third in the Derby. The family recieved a page boost in 2013 when close relative Chiquitta won the Irish Oaks.
The following is the full current list of progeny produced by Alexandrova
