Thoroughbred Hall of Fame racehorse who was the firstfilly inThoroughbred horse racing history to earn $1 million.Purchased from her
Kentucky breeder by French art dealer,Daniel Wildenstein , she became his first important horse and the spur for his substantial investment in racehorses and bloodstock. For his horses in France, Wildenstein operated Dayton Investments Limited and for those in theUnited States , he named it the Allez France Stables.During her racing career from age two to five, she was the preeminent filly in France. In 1974 under new trainer
Angel Penna, Sr. , Allez France went undefeated and in winning thePrix de l'Arc de Triomphe , France's most prestigious horse race, was crowned French Horse of the Year. See http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=Xl0Q-Kqa1Qk.As a six-year-old, Allez France was sent to race in the United States but, as was the case in other races outside of France, she did not do well.
