Flanders (1992 – February 2010) was an American Thoroughbred racing filly. In 1994, she won all five of her races, although she was disqualified from the Matron Stakes and placed last due to testing positive for the prohibited therapeutic drug isoxsuprine.[1] She then went on to win the Frizette Stakes by 21 lengths.[2] She is best known for winning the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies.[3] She came out of the race with a condylar fracture of the cannon bone and a fractured sesamoid.[4] She underwent surgery and was retired in early 1995.[5] She was euthanized in February 2010 because of complications following a paddock accident.[6]
