What price do you think a bookmaker would lay me on Maybe winning the Derby?

I could not agree more with you Hamm! A friend of mine who is a serious judge is convinced this filly would beat any of last years colts. I pointed out he could just lump on at 12/1 for the Oaks buts it's just not in his nature. I'm of the opinion that even if she was a certainty to win the Derby it would be of no value to Coolmore to run her so therefore it could not happen.
If Coolmore thought they didnt have a colt to win it, would they run her to stop anyone else winning it??

Probably not if leading contenders all by their sires.

Not IMO, a Coolmore bred (as in sired) colt winning is of more significance to PR and stallion advertising than a silly.
keep chipping away at him - it will never happen!

I thought only colts could run in the English Derby?

Cape Verdi is the last filly to run. Alex Greaves rode a filly a couple of years before that for some girl on girl action.
Six filies have won the Derby; the last one was Fifinella in 1917 I think.
Three of the six were following up in the Derby having previously won the Oaks.

There are no classics that exclude fillies.
Godolphin might consider it, but I'd agree its unlikely Ballydoyle/Coolmore would.
Even when Cape Verdi ran in the Derby Godolphin also ran the colt City Honours (who was runner-up).

Sorry should have said until Easter. Y'know to keep my mind off the excitement of the bet.
