Yes. Regret won in 1915 and Foolish Pleasure 60 years later in 1975.
Regret, a filly was the 1915 winner.Foolish Pleasure, a stallion was the 1975 winner.Unbridled, a stallion was the 1990 winner.
I will assume by "derby" you mean Kentucky Derby. I will also assume that you only mean winners of the Derby. There have been two Derby-winning horses with 15 letters in their names: Foolish Pleasure (1975) and Fusaichi Pegasus (2000).
Ruffian vs. Foolish Pleasure.
Yes. Ruffian, a filly, tragically broke down in a match race with Foolish Pleasure. Foolish Pleasure, a colt, had won the Kentucky Derby. The ill-fated "Battle of the Sexes" was held in 1975 at Belmont Park in New York. Jacinto Vasquez was the regular jockey for both Ruffian and Foolish Pleasure. Given his choice of horses for this race he chose to ride Ruffian. Most racing fans agreed with Vasquez's assessment as Ruffian was widely considered the superior horse. To this day Ruffian is recognized as one of the sports all-time greats.
Horses that are rode for pleasure are just that, Pleasure horses. This is not to be confused with English or Western pleasure show horses, they are two different things.
