I see no reason why those three, especially Havre de Grace, can't compete in open Grade 1's this year, just like I didn't see (before she got hurt) why R Heat Lightning couldn't compete against males.

Rail Trip has only run in two dirt races and the layoff after the JCGC makes it pretty clear he wasn't 100% in that race. Morning Line won the Pennsylvania Derby and fought tooth and nail from start to finish in the Donn. Those were two good performances.
Awesome Maria mopped up on soft competition at Gulfstream and won a watered down race yesterday. Blind Luck is terrific but in many ways is still on the comeback trail this year. Those two plus Havre de Grace stepping up to face males in what is shaping up as a pretty deep race is a tall order.
I'll settle for Blind Luck and Havre de Grace running against each other at 10fs at Delaware on July 16.
