She is the granddaughter of Northern Dancer, her damsire is Shirley Heights. Alexandrova became the fifth Oaks Stakes winner sired by Sadler's Wells, following Salsabil, Intrepidity, Moonshell and Imagine, putting the stallion alongside the late-nineteenth century and early-twentieth century stallion St Simon as the joint most successful sire of winners of this British classic.

Owned by Susan Magnier, Michael Tabor and Derrick 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.
