But if they run against the boys, no matter what happens they will get no points towards the Oaks. Do you think that is right? Even if a filly finishes 3rd in a 100 point race that doesn't guarantee a spot in the gate for the KD. Maybe the connections would have done things different back in 1980 if the point system existed then, but Genuine Risk finished 3rd in the Wood against the boys and wouldn't have qualified for the derby. Did she belong in the derby?
