"[7] Echo Zulu shipped to California for her final start of the season in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies on November 5 at Del Mar Racetrack.
Echo Zulu went to the early lead and set moderate fractions, then responded to a brief challenge by pulling away down the stretch to win by 4+1⁄2 lengths.
Starting as the very short 1/10 odds-on favorite Echo Zulu bounced out in front and led by a length through the race and barely held on to game Hidden Connection who tried to overtake her on the line.
[12] Echo Zulu was entered to run in the Grade I Acorn Stakes on 11 June but was scratched at the starting gate on veterinarian advice.
[15] After an extended layoff, on May 29 Echo Zulu returned to face four other fillies in the Grade III Winning Colors Stakes at Churchill Downs over six furlongs.
Echo Zulu lead quickly from the gate running the opening quarter under a loose hold from Florent Geroux in :21.75 while Fire On Time pressed the pace in second.
At the top of the stretch in :44.62, Martin Garcia urged Fire On Time to put a neck in front but the small lead disappeared quickly when Echo Zulu forged ahead away down the lane in :56.41.
[16] Echo Zulu was then shipped to Saratoga for the first time since her two-year-old season to compete in graded sprint races for females.
[17] The following month, in what would turn out to be her final race, Echo Zulu contested the 7-furlong Ballerina Handicap against the 2022 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint winner Goodnight Olive.
[18] Echo Zulu's win in the Ballerina gave her an automatic entry into that year's Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint at Santa Anita.
