In Relaxing's dirt debut, the Santa Lucia at Santa Anita, she was beaten by Image of Reality who went on to produce the great broodmare Toussaud (Empire Maker, Honest Lady, etc).
Meanwhile Glorious Song, who also beat males multiple times, produced international superstar Singspiel and the great stallion Rahy as a broodmare. In one of her few missteps as champion older mare in 1980, she was beat in a close finish in the La Brea by Terlingua, the dam of uber-stallion Storm Cat.
