Alywow's dam was Triple Wow, a daughter of 1979 Belmont Stakes winner Coastal, who was a son of U.S.
She was trained by Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame inductee Roger Attfield.
At two, Alywow won the Natalma Stakes on the turf course at Woodbine Racetrack, her home base in Toronto.
Competing at age four in 1995, on the turf at Woodbine Racetrack, Alywow ran second in the Sky Classic Handicp and won the Canadian Maturity Stakes.
Purchased by Pat O'Kelly's Kilcarn Stud near Navan in County Meath, Ireland, she produced two more foals, the first in 1999 from Danzig and another in 2000 by Sadler's Wells.
