Bio
Wow Cat, a Chilean-bred Lookin At Lucky filly, won her first eight starts in her native country, including the Chilean St. Leger, before moving to North America, where she was ambitiously placed in the Grade 3 Shuvee Stakes by co-owners Peter Brant and Stud Vendaval. She finished second by a neck to Farrell in that race, but then proved no match to Abel Tasman and Elate in the Grade 1 Personal Ensign Stakes, finishing third and defeated by 10 lengths.

She finished second by a neck to Farrell in that race, but then proved no match to Abel Tasman and Elate in the Grade 1 Personal Ensign Stakes, finishing third and defeated by 10 lengths.
Wow Cat next raced for trainer Chad Brown in the Grade 1 Beldame Stakes at Belmont Park on Oct. 6, and she scored her first graded stakes win in the U.S. by an overpowering 3 ¼ lengths, improving her career record to nine wins in 11 starts.
The South American import next started in the Nov. 3 Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff at Churchill Downs. Wow Cat trailed the field through the backstretch but mounted a strong closing rally in the last two furlongs and finished a good second, a length behind winner Monomoy Girl.
Wow Cat finished second in the Grade 3 Shuvee Stakes July 21 in her first start after 8 1/2 months off and then ran fourth in the Grade 1 Personal Ensign Stakes Aug. 24, both at Saratoga. She gave Midnight Bisou a challenge in the Grade 1 Beldame Stakes Sept. 28 at Belmont Park, but could not match strides late with that familiar rival and finished second.
