Felicia, winner of the third Kentucky Oaks, was considered a good race filly in her day. Nonetheless, she had little lasting significance in spite of belonging to a very good female family.

1877:
As an individual
Felicia was described as “a fine large bay” in a contemporary newspaper account.

Felicia was owned by J. W. Hunt Reynolds.
Pedigree notes
Felicia is inbred 4x4 to eight-time American champion sire Glencoe. She is a half sister to 1879 American co-champion 3-year-old male Falsetto (by Enquirer) and to Fac-Simile (by Enquirer), the second dam of 1900 Tidal Stakes winner McMeekin and multiple stakes-winning juvenile Flyback and the third dam of 1918 Kentucky Oaks winner Viva America and the good sprinter Magazine.
Farfaletta, the dam of Felicia and her siblings, was produced from the Lexington mare Elkhorna. Elkhorna, in turn, was produced from the Glencoe mare Glencona, whose dam was an unnamed mare by Envoy.
