At age three, Hula Dancer raced both in France and in England where she again defeated colts on a regular basis as well as older horses in the Champion Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse. The highlight of her 1963 racing campaign was a victory in the British Classic, the 1,000 Guineas. Her first performance in England was in the 1,000 Guineas and she started to sweat up badly before the race. She was not brilliant in this win as she only had a length to spare over her rival but it was her courage that got her thru. She was entered in the Epsom Oaks but it was decided not to run her as there appeared to be concerns about her stamina. Her only defeat was in the Prix de Diane at Chantilly in June where she finished 5th. She redeemed herself beautifully with brilliant wins against older horses in the Prix Jaques de Marois and the Prix du Moulin de Longchamp. She ended her fine career with a brilliant in the Champion Stakes at Newmarket where she showed a brilliant turn of foot to defeat a high class field.
