In 16 races in New Zealand, Popsy was unplaced only three times. She won twice at Group 1 level, following up her Derby win with a victory against fillies later in the season in the Championship Stakes.
She won at Group 2 level as a four-year-old, and finished second to Royal Tiara in a photo finish in the 1995 Auckland Cup.
As a broodmare, Popsy has been the dam of eight winners, including New Zealand 2000 Guineas winner Rock 'n' Pop and stakes-winner Lilakyn.
