2021: three-year-old season
On 2 May Mother Earth started at odds of 10/1 in an eleven-runner field for the 208th running of the 1000 Guineas over the Rowley Mile at Newmarket. With Ryan Moore opting to ride the O'Brien stable's more fancied runner Santa Barbara, Mother Earth was partnered by the veteran Frankie Dettori. The other contenders included Alcohol Free, Sacred (winner of the Nell Gwyn Stakes), Saffron Beach (Oh So Sharp Stakes), Fev Rover (Prix du Calvados) and Star of Emaraaty (Sweet Solera Stakes). After being restrained by Dettori in the early stages as Statement and Fev Rover disputed the early lead Mother Earth moved up on the far side to take the lead just inside the last quarter mile and "kept on well" to win by a length from Saffron Beach.[13] After the race Dettori said "I'm super-excited to win that. I didn’t have the pressure of riding the favourite and I had a very willing partner with a filly that I knew was going to give me everything. Aidan gave me a lot of confidence this morning. He said: ‘Forget about Santa Barbara, just ride your own race.’ I forgot about Santa Barbara, kicked at the top of the hill, I knew she'd stay really well and she did and I won, it's as simple as that."[14] Two weeks after her win in the 1000 Guineas Mother Earth started 1.7/1 favourite for the French equivalent, the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches over 1600 metres at Longchamp Racecourse. After settling in sixth place she moved up to briefly take the lead 150 metres from the finish but was overtaken and beaten into second place by the 38/1 outsider Coeursamba.[15]
