Ivanjica was bred by her owner Jacques Wertheimer at Claiborne Farm in Paris, Kentucky.
The filly was named for the town of Ivanjica in the Moravica District of Serbia.
In autumn she won the Prix Vermeille and finished third to Youth in the Washington, D.C. International Stakes.
In 1976 Ivanjica won the Prix du Prince d'Orange and then capped off her career by giving owner Jacques Wertheimer the first of his two Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe wins.
Retired to broodmare service, Ivanjica produced offspring that had limited success in racing.
