Regret was the first of three fillies to win the Kentucky Derby. She won her very first race, the Saratoga Special Stakes in 1914 against an all-male field and was in the lead the entire race! Her record was so impressive that she won the prestigious Eclipse Award for Horse of the Year, and was voted by Blood Horse magazine as #71 of the Top 100 race horses of the 20th century. She was never beaten by a female horse in her entire career. She is in the National Museum Hall of Fame. She is very heavily related to my Hailee and Violet. Regret's dad is Broomstick whose dad is Ben Brush (Kentucky Derby winner). Both of them are also, like Regret, in the National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame. Her mom is Jersey Lightning, and so my girls are related there as well through another Kentucky Derby winner, Hindoo. In fact, my girls are related to Broomstick directly and then are on both sides of the dam and sire line of Regret's mom.
