After a second-place finish in her career debut in 1989, Arctic Queen won her remaining eight Finger Lakes starts and added victories at Saratoga and Aqueduct for good measure. Among her Finger Lakes stakes victories were dominant performances against males in the 1990 Ontario Stakes and the 1991 Prophet Wise Stakes. Arctic Queen equaled the Finger Lakes track record for six-furlongs while being eased at the wire in winning the 1991Cupejoy’s Joy Stake by a resounding 11 lengths.
