39 fillies. I think that is a pretty impressive list, don't you? The fillies can do okay for themselves. Check out some of those names. My favorite is the 1930's filly's name, Alcibiades. Isn't that neat? Anyways, hope this help you out!!!

Answer 3

"Only 39 fillies have Run for the Roses in the 134 runnings of the Kentucky Derby so far. Before Eight Belles in 2008, there had not been any fillies in the Derby since 1999, when Excellent Meeting finished 5th and Three Ring finished last. Sweet Catomine was being pointed to the 2005 Kentucky Derby but was injured and retired before the race.

The last female Derby winner was Winning Colors in 1988, with Genuine Risk in 1980 and Regret in 1915 the only others. Lady Navarre was second in 1906 and five others finished third, giving us a total of just nine in-the-money finishers out of 38 starters. "

Answer 4

ONE...8 BELLES WAS THE ONLY ONE!
