Halfbridled made her sophomore debut in the [[Santa Anita Oaks]], finishing second behind Composure.
Next she contested the [[Beaumont Stakes]], again finishing second in what was her final race.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.equibase.com/profiles/Results.cfm?type=Horse&refno=6285298®istry=T|title=Equibase {{!}} Profiles|last=Equibase.com|website=Equibase|access-date=2017-10-03}}</ref> After the Beaumont Stakes, it was discovered that Halfbridled had sustained an injury to her canon bone and would be sidelined for the rest of the season.
The following November, after supposedly healing from her injury, Halfbridled returned to training to prepare for the 2005 racing season. During a gallop it was realized that the filly never truly healed from her injury, and the decision was made to retire her.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/173149/champion-halfbridled-retired|title=Champion Halfbridled Retired|work=BloodHorse.com|access-date=2017-10-03}}</ref>
