Thanks E1....you too
I knew I was probably off on my answer and AFTER I posted it I scrambled in my brain to think if CUrlin won and 2yo honors (Don't think he did) so I knew I was probably off...I didnt' have time to dig into history as I was just wrapping up at work and hoped to research further when I got home but with a HUGE full house overflowing with family from all over (MIL had a significant stroke and all and flooding to see her) I just got way too busy. Thanks for answering and I shall dig up some sort of doozie and post it later on today. Gotta take some time to find a good one.

OK...here ya go.....
I was known as the “beautiful girl” and was the half sister to another significant American champion.
I got 15 wins, 2 seconds and 1 third in 21 starts and often carrying STAGGERING weights, sometimes upwards of 140lbs and I raced against horses of both genders.
I was inducted into the Racing Hall of Fame in 1994 & am listed as one of the top 100 racehorses of the 20th Century.
The great Man O’ War figures prominently in both sides of my pedigree.
I won championship honors two years in a row.
While I only bore 5 foals in my retirement, all my offspring were winners…four of which were stakes winners.
Some of my most notable (recent) direct descendants include Macho Uno, R Betty Graybull, Woke Up Dreamin, Flashy Bull and a Kentucky Derby winner!
WHO AM I??

Good Job E1...I should just give up as I am NOT the best trivia generator but pretty good at being a trivia answerer...glad I am off the hook for awhile so someone else can come up with something.
Re Ta Wee:...AN AMAZING FILLY!!! ONe of the greatest IMHO...she blistered the butts of many good horses under HUGE weights...like her famous brother Dr. Fager she displayed a HUGE ability to do so and won alot carry upwards of 18-20 more than her competition. Gone are those days Huh? So sad that she gets so overlooked in discussions about amazing fillies because she was lightning fast and beat up on the boys plenty of times...with a family line from Man O'War and Dr. Fager how could she not be good....what is impressive as well is she only have five folas and all of them were winners and 4 of that 5 were stakes winners...that's a pretty impressive set of averages not only for a VERY winning racemare but also to go on to being very successful in her short albeit successful broodmare career. She was an Iron Filly for sure!
Your Turn!!

Not joking at all..
More clues:
I raced at the age of 5
I was sold at Auction at the age of 4 for $2.9 million dollars In fact two of my three previous owners bought me
