It would probably need to be an advantageous spot for one of those fillies to beat males this year.
Island Fashion wasn't as good as either of these fillies and she ran quite nicely in the 2004 big cap just getting beaten by Southern Image. Southern Image would have little trouble against any of the older males today.

Blind Luck and Havre De Grace are a lot closer in quality to Bayakoa and Gorgeous than Morning line is to Criminal Type or Ruhlmann.

Which handicap race run this year would Blind Luck or Havre De Grace not have been among the first couple of choices?
