Bio
As Time Goes By did not race until August of her 3-year-old season, and did not win her first race until December of that year. She broke her maiden by four lengths at Los Alamitos Race Course on Dec. 13, 2020, running six furlongs in an impressive 1:09.01 under Drayden Van Dyke.
She was similarly impressive next out, crushing a first-level allowance field by nine lengths on Jan. 17, 2021 at Santa Anita Park. Ridden by Joel Rosario that afternoon, she stalked the early leader, then took control around the far turn and drew away to a strong win.

In her first graded stakes start, the Grade 1 Beholder Mile Stakes on March 13, As Time Goes By finished second to champion Swiss Skydiver, after a wide trip. She won her first graded stakes on Apr. 24, taking the Grade 2 Santa Margarita Stakes in impressive front-running fashion. She covered 1 1/8 miles in 1:49.95, under Mike Smith.
On the strength of that win, As Time Goes By was the heavy 2-5 favorite in the Grade 2 Santa Maria Stakes on May 25. She got the win, but had to fight for it. She battled with longshot This Tea down the stretch, ultimately prevailing in a desperate nose decision.
As Time Goes By subsequently was unplaced in a pair of Grade 1 races in August at Del Mar and Saratoga before finishing second in the Grade 2 Zenyatta Stakes Oct. 3 at Santa Anita Park. She followed with an eighth-place finish as a 31.90-1 longshot in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff. As Time Goes By regained her winning form Dec. 5 at Los Alamitos with a front-running 1 ¼-length score in the Grade 3 Bayakoa Stakes, and she extended it with a 13 ½-length romp in the La Canada Stakes at Santa Anita Park on New Year’s Day 2022.
As Time Goes By won her firs grade 1 race on Mar. 5, 2022, when she won the Grade 1 Beholder Mile Stakes as the odds-on favorite in a gate-to-wire performance.
