Oh So Sharp

Oh So Sharp (1982–2001) was an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse best-known for winning the Fillies' Triple Crown in 1985. In a racing carer which lasted from August 1984 until September 1985 she won seven of her nine races, starting favourite on each occasion, and never at odds of more than 2/1. She was one of the leading two-year-old fillies of 1984 when she as unbeaten in three races including the Fillies' Mile. In the following year Oh So Sharp won the 1000 Guineas in record time and then took the Epsom Oaks by six lengths before being narrowly beaten in the her next two starts in major weight-for-age races. She completed the Triple Crown in the St Leger Stakes, despite failing to reproduce her best form. She was retired at the end of the season and became a successful broodmare. Oh So Sharp died in 2001 at the age of nineteen.
