On average, seven to nine pounds. That is information provided from Churchill Downs in Louisville Ky where the Kentucky Derby is run. During the tour at Churchill Downs, they compare the size of an average sized horse heart and that of the triple crown winner Secretariat which had an abnormally sized heart weighing 24 pounds!
The first foal produced by champion and classic winner Rags to Riches was born on Monday, March 9, at 9:30 pm, at Ashford Stud near Versailles, Ky. Rags to Riches, owned by Derrick Smith and Michael Tabor, had a Giants Causeway filly. "She had a nice filly foal," said Dermot Ryan, general manager at Ashford. "All is good. Mother and daughter are doing very well." Rags to Riches is booked to Ashford stallion Henrythenavigator . In 2007, Rags to Riches made history when she became only the third filly to win the Belmont Stakes, and the first to do so in 102 years. Rags to Riches outdueled eventual 2007 Horse of the Year Curlin in a breathtaking stretch run to capture the third leg of the Triple Crown. She had five wins from six starts in 2007 and amassed career earnings of $1,340,028. In January 2008, she was honored with the Eclipse Award for outstanding 3-year-old filly of 2007. Rags to Riches is now in foal to Henrythenavigator, due in April :)

This depends on too many variables to give a definite answer. One would have to know the heredity of the horse,Bloodlines, the color of the sire and the dame, etc. then one could still not be one hundred percent sure of what color the foal would turn out. Jimmy Arnett, KY

The KY Derby is an annual horse race held at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. The race location can seat around 10,000 people and is approximately 1 and 1/4 miles long.
In Louisville, Kentucky. Louisville is most commonly known for horse racing, and is one of the sites for the triple crown.
Absolutely NOT! A filly is a young female horse...A colt is a young male horse!!! They usually race 2-3 yr. olds in the triple crown, which if I'm not mistaken, is maturity age for horses. I could be wrong, but I don't think so!The age for horses to race in the 3 Triple Crown races--the KY Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes--is specifically 3 yrs. of age. Fillies are most welcome to run in any of the races and a very limited number have won. In order they are:Regret won the KY DerbyGenuine Risk won the KY DerbyWinning Colors won the KY Derby (1988)Rachel Alexandra won the Preakness (2009)Rags to Riches won the Belmont (2007)There is, however, an "unofficial" TC for fillies, known as the "Triple Tiara" that consists of: the Acorn Stakes run at Belmont and the Coaching Club American Oaks and the Alabama Stakes, both run at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, NY.
It isn't the only one, but the Kentucky Derby is one of them.
