Ventura, a dark bay filly with a white blaze was a homebred raced by Khalid Abdulla's Juddmonte Farms.
[2] Ventura was originally sent to Europe to be trained by Amanda Perrett, but had all her greatest successes after being returned to the United States at the end of her three-year-old season.
In 2006, the two-year-old Ventura made one start at the Lingfield Racecourse on Polytrack synthetic dirt, finishing off the board.
She captured the Just A Game Handicap on the turf at Belmont Park and the Vinery Madison Stakes on Polytrack synthetic dirt at Keeneland before winning the richest and most important race of her career, the US$1 million Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint on the synthetic dirt at Santa Anita Park.
Defending her Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint title, Venture ran second to Informed Decision on the synthetic dirt at Santa Anita Park.
