Racing in the 1880s, Miss Woodford was the first horse in America to win $100,000, a feat she accomplished
over five seasons, against the best colts of her day, at distances up to 2 ½ miles. She won two of her three
career match races.
At three, four and five, Miss Woodford won 16 consecutive races. It comes as no surprise that Hall of Fame
trainers such as "Sunny Jim" Fitzsimmons, Thomas Healy, Jack Joyner, R.W. Walden and James Rowe considered her
the best filly of all.
Highlights of her three-year-old campaign were many, and they included Miss Woodford's victory in the Pimlico
Stakes, where she defeated George Kinney, the best colt of her crop.
Miss Woodford, who died in 1899, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1967.
