they have wildcard points, don't they? that should include some of the big filly races like the santa anita oaks for example.

It's not rocket science ... just call the final major Oaks Preps (the Gazelle, Santa Anita Oaks, Fantasy, Gulfstream Oaks, and Ashland) "win and you're in" races
That way, the five most deserving fillies are allowed to enter the Derby if they want to.
Of course, 99 times out of 100, they won't. In most cases, the won't even be nominated and would have to pay outrageous fees to supplement.
