While the older horses are nothing real special, there is still a reason that it is so unheard of for a 3yo filly to be taking on open competition on September 5th.

It's not. That's just in the United States and that's just because the purses are good enough in their own division or in races for older females that trainers are reluctant to take the risk. That has more to do with why it's not done than because it's some outrageously hard task.
