Addendum: Checked the chart. Winfree had a filly who broke her maiden that day, but it was at 4.5 furlongs. Another old FG trainer, Billy Borders, had his Bold and Vibrant win a nw2x in 1:09 3/5. The Neil Drysdale trained Flying Rumor won her debut in 1:09 4/5.
Yep. Here's a later form of the two first-time-starters who won on '85 Derby day.
