Wasn't the '88 BC Distaff during WC's 3 year old campaign?

I think the historical significance of a filly winning the Belmont is more impressive than the Derby. Primarily because it had been longer since it had been accomplished. I have to say my opinion is probably jaded as I wasn't a fan of Winning Colors while she was running.
