If they really want to take on the boys I hope they give up the Derby plans and instead go to the filly dirt races in the early part of the year through the Oaks and then try the Grand Slam of Grass races against the boys. If she fails there are always the NYRA filly dirt races to continue on with or she could go whoop on the 3yo fillies on the turf. Seems the chance of succeeding against the boys on the turf is a lot higher than on the dirt in a 20 horse field that will not play to frontrunners.
