Description:

Champion two-year-old overall and champion three-year-old filly also, the lovely grey filly Myrobella won eight races. With her blistering speed she usually had her rivals off the bit within the first two furlongs. She was unable to stay the distance of the 1000 Guineas in which she finished third to Brown Betty, but her son, Big Game, was a four length winner of the 2000 Guineas in 1942.
