STICKNEY, Ill. -- The champion filly Dreaming of Anna, who began her career at Arlington Park and was among the best-known Chicago-based horses of recent years, has been retired from racing and shipped from Keeneland Race Course to Three Chimneys Farm, where she will become a broodmare this winter.

Dreaming of Anna ended her career on an off note, finishing sixth of seven last Friday in the First Lady Stakes at Keeneland. It was one of only three times in her 17-start career that she failed to finish third or better. In August, Dreaming of Anna had run a close fourth in the Grade 1 Beverly D.

Dreaming of Anna, a Frank Calabrese homebred and a sister to the high-class middle-distance horse Lewis Michael, is the rare horse who was precociousness enough to score impressive wins early in her 2-year-old season, but durable and substantive enough to continue racing at a high-class level for years afterward. She capped an undefeated 2-year-old campaign with a win in the 2006 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, and was a graded stakes winner on turf at both 3 and 4. Dreaming of Anna leaves the track with 10 wins and earnings of $2,024,550.

"She's happy, healthy, and sound," trainer Wayne Catalano said Monday afternoon.

Calabrese said he hadn't decided to whom Dreaming of Anna will be bred this season, but said he does plan to retain ownership of the filly.

"She's the biggest money winner I've owned, and she ranks right up there with my favorite horses," said Calabrese.
