I was watching replays and noticed that Vicar\'s in Trouble lost his first race to Ruslana a filly.
I looked it up - Winning Colors finished 2nd in a filly stake race at SA before the SA Oaks & SA Derby
Thank you - do you know if a colt KD winner has lost to a filly?
I\'m certain Sea Hero lost to a filly in a turf allowance race in his start prior to the Blue Grass. He had two turf starts at Gulfstream as a 3yo. The first was a loaded stakes race full of future graded stakes winners. The other was an allowance race where he lost to this filly. I wish I could remember her name.
Her name was Icy Warning she beat Sea Hero on the grass. She ended up earning like 600K winning several races.
Has there ever been a derby winner who had an owner whose first born child had brown hair with blue eyes?
About as relevant as this stat.......
I\'m an owner and my oldest daughter has blue eyes and brown hair. When I get my Derby horse I\'ll let you guys know. You might be on to something Jimbo.
Good luck to all.
