Mushka was born in 2005 and was owned by Brushwood Stable, and was bred by Diane Snowden.[1] She was trained by William I. Mott and is most recognized for winning the Grade one Juddmonte Spinster Stakes in 2009.[2] Following this win, Mushka traveled to Santa Anita Park, California for the 26th running of the Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic, in which she placed second.[3] She was ridden by jockey Kent J. Desormeaux.[1]
She was originally owned and campaign by Zayat Stables, which purchased her at auction as a yearling for $1.6 million.[1] She was later purchased by Abbott Bloodstock, on behalf of Brushwood Stable, for $2.4 million at the 2008 Keeneland November Sales.[4] Brushwood owned Mushka from 10 January 2009 until 26 March 2010[5] when SF Bloodstock & Newgate Farm then bought her for $650,000.
