Race fillies

Faster horses

Well-known member
I bet on the filly "From Rags to Riches" in the Belmont today and picked
up a little cash. Is she the 3rd or 4th filly to win that race?

Also, watched the story of "Ruffian" on tv tonight.
She was some race horse. Some say even better than
Secretariat. It will be available on DVD June 12th. It
was a good show, although emotional. Sam Shepherd
did an excellent job as her trainer.

If it comes back again, I say be sure not to miss it.

Faster,
All indicators say that Ruffian was indeed faster that Secretariat. She beat all of his times and set more records than you can shake a stick at. She and Go for Wand are two of my all time favorite race horses. Go for Wand also met with an unfortunate end. She flip in the wash rack and died from that injury. Racing is truely the best of times and the worst of times. Trouble is, if it's truely in your blood there is no passion that equals it. You know you have it in the blood when just walking up to the race moves you to tears. Watching the horses walk in to the saddling area is the most amazing thing you will ever witness. I don't care if its a claiming race or a stakes, it gets to your soul.

I forgot to answer your question :oops: Rags to Riches is the 3rd filly to win the Belmont. Only 22 other fillies have ever even entered the Belmont. Winning Colors took the Kentucky Derby in 88 and that is last one I know of. Silverbulletday is the last one I remember vividly and she came in 7th 1999.
