Racing career
A winner at age two of a maiden race, Untidy came into her own at age three. She was trained by Jimmy Rowe Jr. for her wins in the Kentucky Oaks and Gazelle Stakes.[2][3] In August, Greentree Stables' head trainer Scott Harlan took over and was the trainer of record for Untidy's win in the Alabama Stakes.
A filly about whom racing publications frequently remarked on her beauty, in addition to her wins in important stakes races Untidy regularly ran against her male counterparts in top level races. She notably ran second in the 1923 Manhattan Handicap and second to that year's Kentucky Derby winner and future U.S. Racing Hall of Fame colt Zev in the Lawrence Realization Stakes.[4][5][6]
Broodmare
In the spring of 1924 Unity was sent to stand as a broodmare at the famous Rancocas Stud in Jobstown, New Jersey.[7] Of her offspring, the most successful in racing was First Minstrel, a winner for Greentree Stable of the Junior Champion and Sanford Stakes in 1933.[8]
