While she was not quite the equal of her elder half sister Vagrancy, Hypnotic was a good staying filly in her own right and became the second of Valkyr's foals to take both the Coaching Club American Oaks and the Alabama Stakes. Unfortunately, she was far less successful as a producer than was Vagrancy.
