Luckily, Goldencents was born with a set of balls and a shaft. He has a MUCH better shot in the Derby than he would the Kentucky Oaks.

Right, becasue Derby Fever can hit owners of horses like Fear The Kitten, but it can't hit the owners of a filly that runs 3rd twice in races restricted to fillies. Or perhaps two fillies.

My point is that there is no fair way to fix this problem that you are saying exists. And you are somehow absolving the connections of the fillies of any blame at all.
