Are they betting? Will they pay attention more than 1-2 days a year to racing? It's highly unlikely.

It's nice for regular people to care about things we care about, but those people aren't likely to make a meaningful difference to the sport.

If she manages it, she'll do what Secretariat apparently could've done if he'd raced at 4 according to the quote attributed to (then disclaimed by) Secretariat's screenwriter. Well, we do know nobody's ever done it.

I know one of them definitely is, cause he said to me..."all this hype for a horse, I think I could probably make some money going against her..." then proceeded to give me money to bet for him, against Z.
