Misty for Me is a bay filly with a white blaze bred in Ireland by March Thoroughbreds, one of the breeding divisions of John Magnier's Coolmore Stud organisation.
[1] She was sired by the 2001 Epsom Derby winner Galileo out of the American-bred mare Butterfly Cove, a half-sister of the 1999 European Champion Two-Year-Old Fasliyev.
Starting at odds of 20/1, she finished tenth of the twelve runners in a maiden race behind her stable companion Wild Wind.
She started at odds of 10/1 in a field of twelve runners which included Wild Wind, Laughing Lashes, Together and the unbeaten British filly Memory, who was made evens favourite.
Seamie Heffernan sent Misty for Me into the lead and although she was strongly challenged in the closing stages, she stayed on well to win by a length from Laughing Lashes.
[6] Following the race, Murtagh explained that he had been worried by the soft ground but that Misty for Me had settled well and "found plenty" under pressure, adding that she was a "grand filly" and a good classic prospect.
In this race she was matched against the British-trained five-year-old Midday, winner of the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf, who was made 1/3 favourite.
"[10] Misty for Me started 6/4 favourite for the Group One Matron Stakes at Leopardstown in September, but after briefly taking the lead she finished third to Emulous and Together.
On her final appearance, Misty for Me was sent to Kentucky to contest the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Churchill Downs.
She was produced with a run on the outside in the straight and "rallied strongly" to finish third, beaten three-quarters of a length and a nose by Perfect Shirl and Nahrain.
