Life is Sweet to take on the boys in the Hollywood Gold Cup.

Has an older filly or mare ever beaten older males before (let alone survive the race)?

Cascapedia lost the '73 Hollywood Gold Cup by a neck. Manta was 3rd to Ack Ack in '71. Calumet's champion Two Lea, dam of Derby-Preakness winner Tim Tam, won it in '52.
