It started out as the Acorn, Mother Goose, and the Coaching Club American Oaks. Has it been changed?

here's the test from my link

Triple Tiara of Thoroughbred Racing
The Triple Tiara of Thoroughbred Racing, formerly known as the Filly Triple Crown, is a set of horse races in the United States which is open to three year old fillies. Until recently, the three races that compose the series are The Acorn Stakes, run at Belmont Park at a distance of 1 mile, The Mother Goose Stakes, run at Belmont Park at a distance of 1 1/8 miles and The Coaching Club American Oaks, also run at Belmont Park at a distance of 1 1/4 miles (it used to be 1 1/2 miles). In 2003, the Triple Tiara was reconfigured to consist of the Mother Goose Stakes, Coaching Club American Oaks, and the Alabama Stakes, a 1 1/4 mile race held in August at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York. The New York Racing Association, the operator of Belmont Park, once offered a $2 million bonus to the filly that swept the three races. The bonus was discontinued in 2005.

Thus far, only eight horses have won the Triple Tiara:

Dark Mirage (1968)
Shuvee (1969)
Chris Evert (1974)
Ruffian (1975)
Davona Dale (1979)
Mom's Command (1985)
Open Mind (1989)
Sky Beauty (1993)

Thank you for the information. If a filly triple crown were to consist of the Kentucky Oaks, the Black Eyed Susan, and the Coaching Club American Oaks, I wonder how many fillies would have won.
