i think rags belonged more than quite a few others who went, but i'm not sure that i would have entered her either. a 20 horse slugfest isn't my idea of fun, or what's best for a horse.
as for the belmont, a whole different race. half the field size, a distance not suited for many--she has the breeding, and seemingly the ability. i can't think of a reason for her not to go.
as for history, and fillies, why this country is so adamantly against running gals vs guys, i don't know. happens quite often elsewhere, without ill effect.
makybe diva anyone?
