There are actually three Fillies that have managed to scoot around the 1 1/4 mile track to come in first. Regret in 1915, Genuine Risk in 1980 and Winning Colors in 1988. A total of 38 Fillies have started in The first Jewel of the Triple Crown since it started in 1875. The distance of the Kentucky Derby was 1 1/2 miles from 1875-1895. Ever since it has been 1 1/4 miles. Only 11 total horses, all the big boys, have managed to earn the entire Triple Crown. Most people who study and follow horse racing would probably agree, that had RUFFIAN not shattered her leg SHE might well have been the first and only Filly to take up the Triple Crown. She was never defeated, and never headed. She set or equaled a new stakes record in every one of the eight stakes races she won. She raced at distances from 5 1/2 furlongs to 1 1/2 miles with an average winning margin of 8 1/3 lengths. She was queen of the track, and everyone knew it.
