Having secured a Group One victory and accumulated $4,351,310 in career earnings, Lucia Valentina is considered an elite racehorse. On 9th Apr 2016 at Royal Randwick, with Damien Oliver aboard, she achieved her most notable win, capturing the $4,000,000 Queen Elizabeth Stakes and defeating The United States (IRE).
