She was from the first crop of foals sired by Shalaa, a sprinter who showed his best form as a two-year-old in 2015 when his wins included the Prix Morny and Middle Park Stakes.
Ridden, as on her debut, by Shane Foley she disputed the lead from the start, gained the advantage entering the last quarter mile and won "easily" by 6+1⁄2 lengths from the Aidan O'Brien-trained favourite Divinely.
[6] On 22 August No Speak Alexander was sent to France and moved up in class for the Group 2 Prix du Calvados over 1400 metres at Deauville Racecourse in which she was ridden by Frankie Dettori and finished fourth behind Fev Rover.
At Leopardstown Racecourse three weeks later she ran second to Monday in the Listed Ingabelle Stakes, beaten three quarters of a length by the winner.
With Foley in the saddle she took the lead entering the final furlong but was overtaken in the closing stages and came home fourth behind Elysium.
[11] On 11 September at Leopardstown, No Speak Alexander, ridden as usual by Foley, started a 25/1 outsider for the Group 1 Matron Stakes over one mile on good ground.
After tracking the leaders No Speak Alexander began to make progress in the straight, overhauled the front-running Shale a furlong out and prevailed by a neck from Pearls Galore.
As she made her winning run she hung left, hampering Shale and Mother Earth, but after an inquiry by the racecourse stewards the result was allowed to stand.
"[13] Foley received a five-day suspension for careless riding for his performance in the race: Aidan O'Brien (the trainer of Shale and Mother Earth) later opined that the jockey should have been banned for a month.
