From Azeri to Zenyatta, Twelve Fillies and Mares who Achieved Racing’s Highest Honor

 

THE GREATEST FILLIES OF ALL TIME

 

Horse of the Year is the highest honor bestowed in Thoroughbred racing and twelve superlative fillies have worn this mantle of greatness.   Horse Racing Divas profiles these outstanding racehorses and chronicles the eras in which they raced.  The twelve include:

 

  • Zenyatta, winner of nineteen consecutive races
  • Rachael Alexandra, who beat the boys in the 2009 Preakness
  • Twilight Tear, Calumet Farm’s World War II heroine
  • Lady’s Secret, the great gray known as the “Iron Lady”
  • Azeri, who completely dominated her peers in 2002

Blood Horse magazine, horse racing’s most respected journal, assembled a team of top writers and correspondents to compile these profiles, including award-winning authors Edward L. Bowen, Steve Haskin, Avalyn Hunter and John McEvoy.
