Reading the above, you may be thinking "Well, she has won over half of her career races, and that's over thirty wins, but she hasn't won all too many awards, has she?". For those of you that doubt, let's take a look at her major race wins, going by year, and a sum of her individual record for that year.

2yo Season: Unicorn Horn Juvenile Fillies Turf, Azalea Cup Fillies, Girls Festival, So Sassy Sprint, Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf

Record: 20-12-5-3

3yo Season: Unicorn Horn Sprint, So Sassy Sprint, Butter Cup Sprint, Breeders Cup Turf Sprint

4yo Season: Unicorn Horn Sprint, Queen Cup

Record: 12-4-5-3

5yo Season: Queen Cup, Superstar Sprint, Butter Cup Sprint, So Sassy Sprint, Breeders Cup Mile

Record: 14-9-2-2

This mare was the absolute top class turf sprinter and miler during her time. Quoted from Snowflake, "Soon Seraphim (her half sister) will be destroying the track as well!". This impressive filly nearly became a grade one in her first year of racing. She's won over half of her lifetime races, and every season save for her four year old season ended with winning at least half of her starts. Desiree won three different Breeders Cup Races. She placed second in the Star Festival at two, second in the Breeders Cup Turf Sprint at four and third in the extremely prestigious Cox Plate at five. She was a champion for her entire career.

Based on her accomplishments, I believe that Desiree is completely worthy of the title of Hall Of Fame. I know that many of you were not around when she was racing, but those that were definitely remember here and can give you further details on her successes if you ask.

I voted yes.

Yeah- big deal, she didn't win many awards, but it doesn't matter. She was almost a Grade One as a two year old (!), and these days it's hard to get to Grade Three before three year old seasons. She is a very nice looking mare, and I have to say she looks like she was a very good sprinter. She has won a lot of major races, and I have no reason against inducting her to HOF.

Like I said in a PM to Frosty, I was very surprised she wasn't nominated at retirement! This mare is a superstar and she utterly deserves to be a Hall Of Fame Inductee
