Breeders Cup Filly/Mare sprint

[Rileyoriley]

The best filly and mare sprinters have always run well with the colts in the past. I personally don't like this filly and mare sprint race.

I think there have been 3 in 23 something years. Hardly a trend.

While just three have won, there certainly has been more than three fillies to run well.

In fact, in a 10 year span from 1986 to 1995 -- a filly or mare finished either first or 2nd in that race in eight of those ten years.

Xtra Heat and Honest Lady had a couple strong 2nd this decade.

The fillies who've entered have certainly outrun their odds - there have been years where no filly even ran.

Maybe only 3 winners but they've held their own against the boys. Honest Lady, Meafara, and Safely Kept (2nd in 1989) were certainly competitive.

Pine Tree Lane and Soviet Problem both had 2nd's.

Yes! Forgot about them. Thank you!

I'm ashamed to have forgotten one of my favorites-Xtra Heat. Forgive me girl.
