Alexandrova (born 2003) is a thoroughbred bay filly, the daughter of Sadler's Wells out the dam Shouk. She is the granddaughter of Northern Dancer, her damsire is Shirley Heights.
Alexandrova was bred in Ireland by Quay Bloodstock and was purchased at the October 2004 Tattersalls yearling sale. Owned by John Magnier, Michael Tabor, and Derek Smith, and trained by Aidan O'Brien, in 2006 Alexandrova became the first horse in seven years to win the Epsom Oaks, Irish Oaks and the Yorkshire Oaks. Ridden by jockey Michael Kinane, in the 1 1/2 mile Yorkshire Oaks, for the first time she raced against older fillies and mares but still won by 3 1/2 lengths.
Her owners have said that Alexandrova will likely race next in the 1 1/4-mile Prix de l'Opera on the October 1st at Hippodrome de Longchamp in Paris.
