Her lone loss was a hard fought second to the hugely underrated Sardula in the Kentucky Oaks over a miserable track.
Her three year old debut was on Jan. 08 in a nw1x allowance. The splits were 22.67, 45.14, 109.16 and the final time was 121.34! Her BSF was a 103.
Compare that to Cardmania's race two races earlier on the card, which had splits of 22.12, 44.64, 110.86 and the final time was 121.23! His BSF was a 106. Keep in mind that it was Cardmania that had just won the Breeders Cup Sprint just two months prior.

Lakeway had a far tougher crop than either of these other two and had the handicap of being trained by one of the all time butchers, Gary Jones. Her two last races before being sacrificed by Jones (she nearly died after running sick in the Alabama) were two races for the ages.
In the Mother Goose she set fractions of 23.14, 45.35, 108.65, 133.54 and the final time an amazing 146.58. In second, 4.5 back was the decent filly Cinnamon Sugar with future superstar filly Inside Information another six back in third.
Next, in the Hollywood Oaks, she was on or near the lead with fractions of 23.62, 46.99, 110.08, 134.28 with the final time in 146.93. That makes her last three fractions of 23.09, 24.20 and a final furlong in 12.65. In this race she avenged her lone defeat in the Kentucky Oaks by trouncing Sardula by 4, with like another 15 lengths back to third. The Beyer? 117.
I think we'd be all very hard pressed to find a three year old filly that could do what she did up to this point.
