Tanya (horse)

Tanya (1902–1929) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse bred and raised in Kentucky.

She was bred by William Collins Whitney and foaled at his Brookdale Farm in Lincroft, New Jersey.

Before Tanya could set foot on a track, William Whitney died.

She beat second-place finisher Blandy and her half-brother Hot Shot, another Meddler colt, who came in third in a time of 2:08 3/5.

Tanya was the second filly in history to win the Belmont Stakes, after Ruthless won the inaugural race in 1867.
