Absolutely NOT! A filly is a young female horse...A colt is a young male horse!!! They usually race 2-3 yr. olds in the triple crown, which if I'm not mistaken, is maturity age for horses. I could be wrong, but I don't think so!The age for horses to race in the 3 Triple Crown races--the KY Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes--is specifically 3 yrs. of age. Fillies are most welcome to run in any of the races and a very limited number have won. In order they are:Regret won the KY DerbyGenuine Risk won the KY DerbyWinning Colors won the KY Derby (1988)Rachel Alexandra won the Preakness (2009)Rags to Riches won the Belmont (2007)There is, however, an "unofficial" TC for fillies, known as the "Triple Tiara" that consists of: the Acorn Stakes run at Belmont and the Coaching Club American Oaks and the Alabama Stakes, both run at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, NY.
