As an ardent equestrian, Miss Arden was also the first woman to have a horse win the Triple Crown. The fragrance Blue Grass was created to commemorate this horse's win at the Kentucky Derby. Although there was skepticism in its name -which referred to the horse-breeding region of Kentucky and Tennessee - it became the best-selling perfume her company ever offered and supported her racing interest. Her creation of the soothing and healing lotion called Eight Hour Cream was also introduced at this time and was a tremendous success.
