Silver Spoon, Devil Diver, and Assault

[Calzone Lord]

Prior to the 1960's -- that's how the DRF's did it.

Amazing to think you could have claimed Silver Spoon for 8K in that debut of hers with the 28 horse field.

Here is a list of every single filly to race in the Kentucky Derby since 1945:

2010 Devil May Care
2008 Eight Belles
1999 Excellent Meeting
1999 Three Ring
1995 Serena's Song
1988 Winning Colors
1984 Life's Magic
1984 Althea
1982 Cupecoy's Joy
1980 Genuine Risk
1959 Silver Spoon

Tell me that isn't an awesome collection of fillies!

Unbelievably, from 1945 to 1979 -- the only filly to run in the Kentucky Derby was Silver Spoon.

And now you have people who think we need to make special rules to keep fillies out of the Derby.
