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.
Seabiscuit, who is the gratest racehorse ever!!! He returned from serios injury, to win the 1940 Santa Anita Handicap, with crippled jockey Red Pollard.
