The daughter of Empire Maker is known for posting a 1-1/2 length score over her stablemate Disposablepleasure in the mile and an eighth Grade II $300,000 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes at Pimlico Race Course on May 18, 2012.
When she hit the track in mid-January 2012, she won her debut in a maiden special weight race at Turfway Park at six furlongs on synthetic surface.
Her connections, including owner Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners and trainer Todd Pletcher, skipped the Kentucky Oaks with In Lingerie to give her more time off.
They decided two weeks before the Oaks that they would enter her in the second jewel of America's de facto Filly Triple Crown: the $300,000 Grade II Black-eyed Susan Stakes.
On July 21, 2012, In Lingerie finished third to Questing and Zo Impressive in the $300,000 Grade I Coaching Club American Oaks at one and one eighth miles at Saratoga Race Course.
She veered outside of traffic going five wide and responded with a burst at the sixteenth pole and went on to win the race by two and a quarter lengths over Mystic Star.
On November 2, 2012, In Lingerie was entered into the $2,000,000 Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California.
