Default Fastest Filly Ever...
Blackie and his side-kick/groupie should have a field day with this one...

Take Ruffian out of the mix, and who would you consider the fastest filly to step onto the track?

Im going with Crimson Saint. Brilliantly fast filly but had some soundness issues. Still is partly responsible for some of the fastest blood in horse racing today...

My dad always talks about Primonetta being a really fast filly from back in the day as well. She's a name you dont hear too much about considering her accomplishments off and on the track.

Take it from here, bitches....

Even with Ruffian in the mix, I go with either Go for Wand or Landaluce. Go for Wand put up a 1:21, a 1:45 4/5, and a 2:00 4/5. That's speed and versatility to match. Landaluce was probably the fastest of the sprinters. She went 1:08 at Hollywood and 1:21 4/5 under a hand ride at Santa Anita.

I'd also consider horses like Soviet Problem and Safely Kept. Meafara was a blazer early too. Sardula.

Landaluce is one I always forget... Lukas claimed she was the best filly (or horse???) he ever trained.
