Winning Colors [February 14, 1985 - February 17, 2008] was the last of three fillies to thus far win the Kentucky Derby. The winning date was May 7, 1988. The winning jockey was Gary Stevens [b. March 6, 1963]. The winning time was 2 minutes. 02-1/5 seconds.

Winning Colors probably robbed Risen Star (a son of Secretariat) from a Triple Crown Championship. Risen Star was ridden far to the outside on the turn to avoid another horse, and was unable to make up the ground. He came back to win both the Preakness and Belmont, the latter by 16 lengths.
