But Why Not

But Why Not (foaled in 1944) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse. The daughter of Blue Larkspur and granddaughter of Black Servant is probably best remembered for wins in the Alabama Stakes, the Acorn Stakes, the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes at Pimlico Race Course. In 1947, she was voted by the country's top sports writers as the American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly.

Three-year-old season

But Why Not did not run as a two-year-old. In 1947, she ran in eleven races over ten months and won most of them. After breaking her maiden and winning an allowance race, she ran in the Empire City Stakes in early April at the old Jamaica Racetrack in New York, where she placed second to Phalanx at 9.5 furlongs. She rested for six weeks and then competed in the $25,000 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes (then called the Pimlico Oaks) on May 16, 1947. The race was held at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland, and was run over a distance of one mile and a sixteenth on a fast dirt track. In that race, But Why Not beat stakes winners Cosmic Missile and Oberod in a time of 1:46.40 under jockey Warren Mehrtens.
