She beat Royal Trips by 4-lengths in the trial to that race. Corona Chick came out of the 1992 Southern California Derby with a leg injury that ended her race career. Her success on the track made her the 1991 Champion 2 Year Old and Champion 2-Year- Old Filly and her race record at three made her the Champion 3-Year-Old Filly.
