Ivanjica was bred by her owner Jacques Wertheimer at Claiborne Farm in Paris, Kentucky. She was sired by Epsom Derby winner Sir Ivor out of the mare Astuce by the important French sire Vieux Manoir. The filly was named for the town of Ivanjica in the Moravica District of Serbia.
Ivanjica was trained by Alec Head and ridden by his son Freddy.
In 1975 Ivanjica won the French 1000 Guineas but was denied the opportunity to win the French Oaks as the race was cancelled owing to industrial action. In autumn she won the Prix Vermeille and finished third to Youth in the Washington, D.C. International Stakes.
In 1976 Ivanjica won the Prix du Prince d'Orange and then capped off her career by giving owner Jacques Wertheimer the first of his two Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe wins.
Retired to broodmare service, Ivanjica produced offspring that had limited success in racing. She died in 1992 after producing six foals.[2]
Ivanjica had her portrait painted by Andy Warhol.
