    The 1980 Kentucky Derby winner and the only filly to finish in the money of all three Triple Crown races.

    Didn't compete in the toughest year ever for 3-y-os (by far, considering Rumbo and Jaklin Klugman completed the tri in her Derby), but her accomplishments speak for themselves. Never threw anything resembling her self as a broodmare.

    31 in horse years, what is that in human years? For example, one dog year is equal to seven human years.

    31 horse years would be the equivalent of 31 years.

    Nice filly. In terms of being a precocious 3-y-o, she wasn't Winning Colors, but she was a real nice filly.

    Nice horse, I remember watching her Derby and watching Cordero fuck her out of the Preakness. I thought he was a piece of crap beforehand and that reinforced it.
