The older horses of the 40's was a whole lot of splitting hairs. Devil Diver had a strong case for inclusion, as did other like Stymie and Assault (his 4yo form was solid) - One of those divisions where very little, if anything, seemed to seperate like 1 through 8.

Gallorette was easily one of the great race mares of all-time - and she faced a lot of strong male competition at several points - but her case for inclusion isn't very good unless you're graded fillies and mares on a curve - in which case, she's a total shoe-in for inclusion.
