Can you name one filly who accomplished more than she has through this point in their respective 3 yo years?
Winning Colors?

Fair enough. I'd say arguably yes. Same with Genuine Risk. But just arguably. Neither beat colts off the trip R2R had.

Winning Colors destroyed colts in ths SA Derby and beat a top group of 3 yo's pretty handily in the Derby. No comparison really.

Well, Winning Colors barely held on in the Derby but that was her second grade one win vs colts.

I'm pretty sure that Forty Niner was at least as good a quality of horse as was found in 19th century Hungary

Risen Star was fairly average though. I'd take 1/5 on the Hungarian stud.

And for the sake of accuracy, Kincsem ran her first 6 races in Germany, by this time she had run in four different countries!
