Consistently? We're talking about one race here...one that fillies have had more than their fair share of success in. And the Derby? Well, considering we had two fillies win it in the 80s, and very few try it since, I don't think it is a good example for you. Obviously most don't match up, but those that do, more than hold their own.
Nobody is saying that fillies are better than colts on average...who would? But using the filly/mare argument as to why Gorella shouldn't run in the BC Mile ( a race she arguably could have won last year with a fair trip ) is poor at best.
Methinks you're starting to grasp at straws.
