In 1980, at age four, she started twelve times, winning five races, and set a new track record for going 1 5/8 miles in 2:42.2 during her victory against colts in the Gallant Fox Handicap (Gr-2).
Relaxing also equaled a track record in the Firenze Handicap (Gr-2).
She also beat males in the John B. Campbell Handicap (Gr-2) and the ungraded Assault Handicap besides finishing third to John Henry in the Jockey Club Gold by less than a length.
