Yogya the dam of Six Perfections, is a half sister of to two-time Breeders Cup Mile winner Miesque. Celtic Swing, Six Perfections sire, amongst many group one wins attained a first in the Prix du Jockey Club (French Derby), but despite a valiant attempt, did not manage the French/Irish Derby double.

Six Perfections was trained by Pascal Bary and out of her 14 starts was only once out of the top three and achieved wins at the highest level, including a 2nd in the 1000 Guineas.

Six Perfections ran in her second Breeders Cup mile in October 2004, where she was a good 3rd. Following this race, 6P was retired to stud duties, was mated to Storm Cat and subsequently produced a bay colt.
