Dance Smartly not only beat the boys in her undefeated season but she also won the triple crown, granted it was in Canada.
Probably the best horse she beat that year was Fly So Free who is still probably better than anything Zenyatta faced this year. If she couldn't win HOY that year where Black Tie Affair was the top Hdcp horse then I would have to think the precedent has been set that a filly/mare shouldn't unless by default as Azeri did.
