While I agree they are being a bit unrealistic about Mushka's ability perhaps this sort of thinking will get us a fuller field in the Belmont each year by other owners who have a better filly than colt, Rags just had to break ground first.
It seems it would be easier for a filly to win the Belmont than the Derby overall when you look at the history of the races and the quality of each field, particularly in recent years.
