All Along

All Along (7 April 1979 – 23 February 2005) was a champion Thoroughbred racemare that was foaled in France. She was one of the top fillies of the last part of the 20th century, racing mostly in Europe.

Background

A granddaughter of the Round Table, she was owned by Daniel Wildenstein (1917–2001), the French art dealer. All Along was shipped to France to be trained by Patrick-Louis Biancone.

Racing career

1981: Two-year-old season

As a two-year-old, the filly raced only one time and won.

1982: Three-year-old season

The following year, she competed on turf courses in France, England, and in Japan, winning numerous prestigious races.

1983: Four-year-old season

In 1983 All Along finished third to Zalataia in the Grand Prix de Chantilly but then finished seventh of the nine runners when favourite for the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. After a summer break she returned for the Prix Foy at Longchamp Racecourse. Biancone decided to change the tactics used on the filly and instructed her jockey to hold up the filly for a late run. She made up a great deal of ground in the closing stages to finish second, a length behind the British-trained filly Time Charter.
