The theme for International Women's Day 2016 is 'Pledge for Parity'. The horses that comprise the 10 richest fillies and mares in harness racing history have exceeded aspirations for on-track parity with their male counterparts and shattered records across the globe.
In addition to winning divisional honours a combined 44 times, these distaffers have a total of six Horse of the Year titles between them.
