Her winning margin of ten lengths was the second-widest in the race's history and her starting price of 50/1 made her the equal longest-priced winner of the Oaks on record.

As a descendant of the broodmare Feola, Jet Ski Lady came from the same branch of thoroughbred family 2-f which produced Round Table, Pebbles and Aureole.

Rather than being aimed at the usual trial races for fillies, Jet Ski Lady began her three-year-old season by running against a field of colts in the ten-furlong Ballysax Stakes at the Curragh in April.

[6] Two weeks later, the filly was again matched against male opponents in the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial and finished fourth behind Runyon, George Augustus and Smooth Performance.

Shadayid, who had won the 1000 Guineas was made the even-money favourite ahead of the Fillies' Mile winner Shamshir: no other runner apart from Jet Ski Lady started at longer than 20/1.

The favourite attempted to challenge the leader, but Jet Ski Lady drew steadily further away from her rivals in the last quarter-mile and won easily by ten lengths.

Jet Ski Lady took the lead in the straight and went clear of the field but was caught in the last stride and beaten a short head by the outsider Magnificent Star.

She was bred to several leading stallions including Sadler's Wells, Rainbow Quest and Green Desert, but made very little impact, with none of her foals succeeding at Group race level.
