2010: two-year-old season Reve d'Essor began her racing career in a 1500 metre contest for previously unraced juveniles at
Sapporo Racecourse on 11 September. She started favourite against thirteen opponents and won from Northern River, a colt who went on to win the
Arlington Cup and the
Capella Stakes. On 16 October at
Kyoto Racecourse the filly was stepped up in class for the
Grade 2 Daily Hai Nisai Stakes over 1600 metres and went off the
1.4/1 favourite in a twelve-runner field. She was only eighth on the final turn but finished strongly to win by one and a quarter
lengths and a length from the colts Admire Sagace and Meisho Naruto.
Grand Prix Boss who was voted
Japan's champion two-year-old colt, finished seventh. She became the first filly to win the race since Seeking The Pearl in 1996. In the official ratings for Japanese two-year-olds Reve d'Essor was rated the best juvenile filly of the year, two pounds ahead of Whale Capture and four pounds below the top-rated colt Grand Prix Boss. In January 2011 Reve d'Essor was unanimously awarded the
JRA Award for Best Two-Year-Old Filly at the
JRA Awards for 2010, receiving all 285 of the votes.
2011: three-year-old season On 5 March at Hanshin, Reve d'Essor made her debut in the 1600 metres Tulip Sho, a race which serves as a trial for the
Oka Sho, which is run in early April and is the traditional start to the annual
classic races for three-year-olds in Japan. Starting at odds of 1/10 she was restrained as usual in the early stages before taking the lead in the straight and drawing away to win by easily four lengths from Rice Terrace. Later that month the filly sustained a leg injury in training and was off the track until autumn. After an absence of months six months Reve d'Essor returned at Kyoto in November to contest the
Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative Cup, a race which saw her pitted against older fillies and mares for the first time. She started the 6.3/1 third favourite but never looked likely to win and suffered her first defeat as she came home eleventh of the eighteen runners, almost nine lengths behind the winner
Snow Fairy. On 18 December Reve d'Essor was made odds-on favourite for the
Aichi Hai over 2000 metres at
Kokura Racecourse, but finished fourth behind Fumino Imagine. She was planned to race in the
Kyoto Kinen but withdrew due to the right hind
hock injury. This injury later got worse as the diagnosis found that she had an avulsion fracture on his front leg. These two simultaneous injury pushed forward for her immediate retirement and she would assigned as a
broodmare at the
Northern Farm. In the Japanese rankings for 2011, Reve d'Essor was rated the second best three-year-old filly, four pounds behind Aventura. ==Racing form==
