Tiffany Lass Not Forgotten

Gary Stevens, who rode some great fillies in his Hall of Fame career, considers Tiffany Lass among the best.

“She’s right there with Winning Colors and Silverbulletday,’’ Stevens said. “They’re mentioned in the same breath. (Tiffany Lass) gave me by first Classic win in the Kentucky Oaks.

“Her picture is right when you walk in my house in Kentucky. Her picture is the first thing you see.’’

Tiffany Lass, who was based for most of the 1985-86 Fair Grounds season under trainer Angel Barrera, won four races in New Orleans on her way to winning the Eclipse Award for being the champion 3-year-old filly of 1986. She was the first Fair Grounds-based filly to win the Fair Grounds Oaks and Kentucky Oaks. Technically, she was the first filly period to win that double, though it could be argued that Davona Dale was the first.
