We probably will not see a filly competing in this year's Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve (USA-G1), but fillies have not only done so but have even been favored for the big race when the field went to the post. Your challenge: Name the first filly to be the race-day favorite and the first filly to be the winter book favorite for the Kentucky Derby.

Regret was the first filly to go off as the favorite and win in 1915.
