Preakness Stakes - Fillies in The Preakness

Fillies in The Preakness

Five fillies have won the Preakness in 136 races:

  • 1903 - Flocarline
  • 1906 - Whimsical
  • 1915 - Rhine Maiden
  • 1924 - Nellie Morse
  • 2009 - Rachel Alexandra, who was also the only horse, male or female, to ever win from the farthest outside position: 13th post.

(Three fillies have won the Kentucky Derby in 138 races, and three fillies have won the Belmont Stakes in 143 races. On average, fillies have won between 2% and 3% of the Triple Crown races, with similar numbers for geldings; while about 95% of these high-stakes races have been won by colts.)
