After finishing a good third in the Grade 1 Ogden Phipps Stakes on June 10 behind Songbird and Paid Up Subscriber, Highway Star was shortened up and returned in the seven-furlong Grade 1 Ballerina Stakes at Saratoga on Aug. 26 and just missed earning a breakthrough top-level win, losing to By the Moon by a neck. She returned to the winner's circle in her next start when she reeled in Carina Mia to win the Grade 2 Gallant Bloom Handicap by a neck.
