===1983: Four-year-old season=== In 1983 All Along finished third to Zalataia in the [[Grand Prix de Chantilly]] but then finished seventh of the nine runners when favourite for the [[Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud]]. After a summer break she returned for the [[Prix Foy]] at [[Longchamp Racecourse]]. Biancone decided to change the tactics used on the filly and instructed her jockey to hold up the filly for a late run. She made up a great deal of ground in the closing stages to finish second, a length behind the British-trained filly [[Time Charter]].<ref name="Timeform1983">{{cite book | author=Timeform| title = Racehorses of 1983| publisher=Timeform | year = 1984| isbn = 0-900599-40-5}}</ref> Ridden by jockey [[Walter Swinburn]], All Along started at odds of 17.3/1 France's most famous race, the [[Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe]]. She was held up until the straight when she was produced with a strong run along the rail, catching the leader [[Sun Princess (horse)|Sun Princess]] in the last 100 [[metre]]s and winning by a length. Luth Enchantee beat Time Charter in a photograph for third, meaning that fillies filled the first four places. She was immediately shipped to [[Toronto|Toronto, Ontario]], Canada and won the [[Canadian International Stakes|Rothmans International]] at [[Woodbine Racetrack]]. Two weeks later, she won the [[Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Invitational|Turf Classic]] at [[Aqueduct Racetrack]] in [[Jamaica, New York]] by 8ΒΎ lengths, then won the [[Washington, D.C. International Stakes]] at [[Laurel, Maryland]]. Four consecutive wins against the best horses in the world all occurred within 41 days. She was the first horse to win the three prestigious [[North America]]n races in a row, netting a million-dollar bonus for her owners and [[American Horse of the Year|Horse of the Year]] honors in both France and the United States. She was voted the [[Eclipse Award for Outstanding Female Turf Horse]] and became the first [[filly]] to win the [[Eclipse Award for Horse of the Year]] since the voting system had been implemented in the 1970s.
