Obviously most don't match up, but those that do, more than hold their own.
Nobody is saying that fillies are better than colts on average...who would? But using the filly/mare argument as to why Gorella shouldn't run in the BC Mile ( a race she arguably could have won last year with a fair trip ) is poor at best.
Methinks you're starting to grasp at straws.

I'm just arguing that based on my analysis she is better suited to win the F&M Turf...you are arguing the opposite....Obviously, one of the big factors for me is that she would be running against her own kind - which I value because I understand the difference....
Last year's Mile was horrible....you may have a different opinion and you are entitled to it, but I thought it before and after the race and I was unimpressed with Gorella's race....sorry, not impressed.....I am an Artie fan because I own a couple fo El Prado mares and he is likeable, but he is what he is and has lost more bad races in the last two years to make it evident that he is far from a classic....
Not reaching for straws here because I think we are both wasting each others time here....to be honest with you, if she preps in the Galaxy - I don't think she'll win either race - so we need to move on and discuss another horse..
Lets talk about why you think Commentator will win the BC Sprint after watching him throw up the other day....I think Henny Hughes is twice the horse....
