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)?

It's never happened and it never will. It's shameful that they would even take that kind of risk. Thank God they are being more careful with Zenyatta.

It's pretty funny that they are racing the lesser of the two more adventurously. OK....it's not really funny.
