Why are fillies banned from the Kentucky Derby
Answered By: Jeremiah Baker Date: created: Apr 20 2022
The races for fillies are no longer on their list of qualifying races, so it is impossible for a filly to get enough points to run in The Kentucky Derby, and so are never able to win the Triple Crown. The Belmont, and Preakness have no bans. (Three fillies won The Derby since the late 1800’s when it began.)

Are male race horses faster than female
Answered By: Thomas Rodriguez Date: created: Dec 28 2022
Parity between the sexes isn’t limited to horses. Among racing pigeons, males are only 2 percent faster than females. A female horse is more likely win—and to take home whatever prize money is at stake—in a single-sex race. In Thoroughbred racing, the real money is in breeding.

Do fillies race

No “fillies,” or young female horses, will be competing in 2016. Although there is no shortage of female race horses out there, and they are allowed to participate in the Derby, most fillies stick to the Kentucky Oaks, a race that is held specifically for 3-year-old fillies on the day before the Kentucky Derby.
