No genetically roan thoroughbred has ever won the Kentucky Derby.
However, the filly Winning Colors was registered as Roan/Gray. The Jockey Club groups Grays and Roans in the same category even though they are very different genetically.
Winnings Colors was actually genetically a gray, so technically no roan has ever won the Kentucky Derby.
Technically, a mare is defined as a female horse over the age of three. A filly is a female horse three years or younger. Since the Kentucky Derby is a race for 3-year-olds only, no mare has ever won. However, three fillies have won the Kentucky Derby: Regret (1915); Genuine Risk (1980); and Winning Colors (1988).
well in 2007 Curlin lost the Kentucky Derby ( i think her placed third) but won the preakness and lost the blemont to the filly Rags to Riches.
