Her bloodline like wine gets better as time pass by, you mentioned Glory Vase and I'd say he's quite a winner. But that aside finally you covered her racing career, worth the wait.
Yeah, the Mejiro bloodline definitely gets better through generations, unless your name is Mejiro Ryan with two G1-winning children. Mejiro McQueen is a great damsire for Stay Gold's children (Orfevre, Dream Journey, Gold Ship) but with the added eccentricities that make them all special lol
None triple crown winner does all trial races for each leg of the triple crown or tiara except Mejiro Lamone. Almond Eye and Daring Tact attempt to skip all of them while the risk of the entry purse， both two just do the： A maiden， one race for enough entry purse， and Triple crown， only 5 wins needed， that is the minimum possible. Contrail only gets Kikuka Sho trial to test his stamina (no need for Satsuki/Derby Trial due to enough purse by Hopeful stake/ Satsuki win) Other triple crowns after ww2 get Satsuki and Kikuka trial( no need for Derby Trial as they win Satsuki) Still in love, Apapane, and Gentildonna get the Oka and Shuka Trial( similar reason to skipping Oaks trial as the winner of Oka) The main reason for skipping the trial is to decrease stress from the harsh routine while the horse gets enough purse that makes the guarantee became redundant and useless. I think Mejiro Farm may want to prove the toughness under harsh routine for the filly and make a statement of filly endurance just like other Mejiro horses. in other cases, Gentildonna and Almond Eye's strength is recognized by their Japan Cup-winning against 4+ year horses by defeating another triple crown colt(Orfevre) , or breaking the record when they are 3.
