  Filly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A filly is a female horse, specifically one which has not reached sexual maturity.
In Thoroughbred horse racing, the definitions of "filly" and "mare" are slightly different.
In this context, female horses are not classified as "mares" until they are five-year-olds—more precisely, on the fifth January 1 (for horses born in the Northern Hemisphere) or August 1 (for horses born in the Southern Hemisphere) after their actual date of birth.

In the fall of her yearling year, the dark bay Shenanigans filly was introduced to a saddle and bridle by Nick Lotz, assisted by groom Donnie Bussell, in her stall at Raceland, Claiborne's weanling facility, before being sent to Xalapa Farms, which Claiborne had leased as a training facility.
No one at the training facility knew the filly's name, for it was policy in Frank Whiteley's barn to not reveal the names of two-year-olds until they had made their first start, and she was nicknamed Sofie by her riders, who found the big filly as comfortable to sit on as a sofa.
The dark filly was a hard horse to rate, and when she ran the slowest early fractions of her life, going in :47 3/5 in the first half of the Mother Goose Stakes, Whiteley and Vasquez were pleased.

Although a bit slow getting out of the gate, the filly went virtually undefeated the last few starts of the year, and was head and shoulders above her competition on most weeks.
Her final three career starts would all be made at the picturesque half-mile oval at Summerside Raceway, where in her first start she was interfered with, over a terrible race track, and rallied for a fifth place finished after having fallen far behind early.
It was time to give the filly a well-deserved break and she was taken "home" to Flowers’ farm, located just outside of Saint John, N.B. There she rested until it was time to start prepping for 2005.

Then along came the giant filly Alinghi and Oliver knew right from the start, just as he had with Special Harmony last season, that she was something special.
Despite being between four-and-six lengths from the flying Sydney filly Wager, who had slipped the field at the top of the straight, Oliver reasoned that the leader had to start coming back to him and he knew Alinghi would be strong over the final 200 metres.
At that point, trainer Lee Freedman turned to his brother Michael and said it would be a good effort if she could finish second, but Oliver was not prepared to settle for less than first after being placed in the race in three of the past four years.

The U.S. gate fell from 75 million to 39 million, 1980-1995, while TV ratings for the Kentucky Derby, Belmont, and Preakness dropped from 40-60% in 1960 to just 10-20% this summer despite Silver Charm’s narrowly thwarted bid for the Triple Crown.
