Fillies' Mile (1997)

Glorosia (foaled 4 March 1995) was a French-bred British-trained thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. In a racing career which lasted from July 1997 until September 1999 she won three times and was placed three times from eleven races. She was at her best as a two-year-old when she won on her debut, finished third in the May Hill Stakes and then recorded her biggest success in the Fillies' Mile at Ascot Racecourse. She struggled as a three-year-old and failed to win in three races. She remained in training at four and won one minor race from five attempts. After her retirement from racing she became a broodmare in Germany.

Glorosia was a chestnut mare with a white blaze and three white socks bred in France by Alec Head. She was sired by Bering, who won the Prix du Jockey Club and finished second to Dancing Brave in the 1986 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. As a breeding stallion, the best of his offspring included Pennekamp, American Post, Peter Davies and Matiara (Poule d'Essai des Pouliches). Her dam Golden Sea, also bred by the Head family, won four minor races in France before being retired to broodmare duty. She was a distant descendant of the American broodmare Speed Boat, the female-line ancestor of Sword Dancer, Hail To All and Rachel Alexandra.

The filly entered the ownership and was sent into training with Luca Cumani at Newmarket.
