Emily Upjohn is a bay filly with no white markings bred in England by the Newmarket-based Lordship Stud & Sunderland Holding.
She started slowly but made steady progress in the last quarter mile, took the lead in the final strides and won by a neck from Secret Image.
[8] For her next start the filly was stepped up to Group 3 level for the Musidora Stakes (a trial race for the Epsom Oaks) over ten and a half furlongs at York Racecourse on 11 May.
Starting the 4/7 favourite against four opponents she raced just behind the leaders before going to the front entering the last quarter mile and steadily increased her advantage to win "readily" by five and a half lengths from Life of Dreams.
She made a sustained challenge to the leader Tuesday in the closing stages but narrowly failed to overhaul her Irish-trained rival and was beaten a short head into second place.
"[12] The filly was then matched against male opposition and older horses in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes over the same distance at Ascot Racecourse in July.
She went off the 3/1 third choice in the betting but never looked likely to win and faded badly in the closing stages to come home last of the six runners behind Pyledriver, beaten more than twenty lengths by the winner.
"[15] In the early part of 2023 Emily Upjohn was aimed at the Dubai Sheema Classic at Meydan Racecourse in March but missed the race after failing to impress her trainer in exercise gallops.
"[16] The filly eventually began her second campaign in the Coronation Cup over one and a half miles on good to firm ground at Epsom on 2 June, With Dettori in the saddle she went off the 11/4 second favourite behind Westover in a five-runner field which also included Hurricane Lane, Point Lonsdale (Huxley Stakes) and Tunnes (Grosser Preis von Bayern).
