Rhine Maiden is best known as just the third filly to ever win the
Preakness Stakes. She did it in a time of 1:58 with Douglas Hoffman aboard by 1½ lengths over Half Rock and Runes. The filly appeared ideally suited by the muddy track and the front-running tactics employed by her
jockey Hoffman. 1915 was the year that the filly
Regret won the
Kentucky Derby but did not challenge Rhine Maiden in the Preakness. Not since 1915 has more than one of the
Triple Crown races been won by a filly. Racing at age four, Rhine Maiden won the Clarendon Handicap at New York's
Jamaica Race Course. As a five-year-old in 1917, Rhine Maiden recorded an upset victory in the Ladies Handicap at
Belmont Park in June. In September of the same year she won the Regret Handicap at
Aqueduct Race Track, beating Dorcas by three lengths. Rhine Maiden died in 1923. ==Pedigree==
