As a daughter of the Hungerford Stakes winner Inchinor, Latice was a product of the Byerley Turk sire line,[2] unlike more than 95% of modern thoroughbreds, who descend directly from the Darley Arabian.
[4] Latice's dam Laramie showed no racing ability in a brief track career, finishing unplaced in both of her starts,[5] but did much better as a broodmare, producing Lawman and the Prix du Palais Royal winner Satri.
Ridden by Ioritz Mendizabal she looked unlikely to obtain a clear run before breaking through along the rail in the last 150 metres to win by three quarters of a length from Siberian Highness.
Starting a 12.5/1 outsider she was settled towards the rear of the six-runner field by Christophe Lemaire before producing a strong late run to overtake Voix du Nord 50 metres from the finish and win by half a length.
On her first run as a three-year-old Latice was ridden by Christophe Soumillon when she started the 0.7/1 favourite for the Group 3 Prix Vanteaux over 1800 metres on very soft ground at Longchamp on 2 May.
[12] For her final run of the year Latice was sent to Sha Tin Racecourse to contest the Hong Kong Cup on 12 December but made little impact and finished tenth behind Alexander Goldrun.
On her North American debut the filly started favourite for the Waya Stakes over one and a half miles at Saratoga Race Course in August and won by one and three quarter lengths having taken the lead on the far turn.
[15][16] On her final race of the year Latice started favourite for the Long Island Handicap at Aqueduct Racetrack on 5 November but came home fifth behind Olaya.
Latice began her fourth campaign in an allowance race on 15 April over one mile at Keeneland in which she was ridden by John Velasquez and won by half a length from Rich In Spirit.
