RIP Flanders
Flanders crushing in the Frizette (Jason Moran)
Sad news today that at some point this month, 1994 Champion Juvenile Filly Flanders was euthanized due to complications from a paddock incident. Glad that Paulick brought us this news but why are we just finding out?
I don’t have enough time to do Flanders justice with a well researched post but I encountered her when I did my 1994 series. She easily made her way to the top of my “favorite horses I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing” (also including Landaluce, Cigar, and Pebbles to name a few).
Here are all of her replays from YouTube… enjoy her brief but brilliant career:
1994 Maiden Race:
1994 Spinaway:
1994 Matron:
1994 Frizette:
1994 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies:
Rest in peace, and here’s hoping we see that Bernadini colt.

She was a phenominal filly. It’s sad to see these horses go….but it seems to happen everyday. I will be putting up more photos of her in the coming days. Just have to dust off the negatives.
This was great thank you. I’d read about her but never seen any of her races, she was incredible. The Frizette gave me shivers and the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies was literally breath-taking!
Jason - great stuff!
Brian - you’re welcome! I had watch a few of them but seeing them all together was even more impressive.
I was lucky enough to watch Flanders win the BC Juvenile Fillies. She truly was an exceptional filly. So sad …
Wow, that must have been incredible!
