"Urban Myth Busters" though is a great thread and I,m sure most of us would be interested in what comes out of it.
Q2.In this day and age of Training methods do the Fillies and Mares perform worse than the Male horses?
Cheers and thanks for a enlightening thread.

Hi Darky,
I did not answer your first question because I assumed it was a gee up. Infact I did type a reply but cancelled because you might be up for a bit of mischief.
I will by pass Q1 for the time being because Q2 is a reasonable question. I do not have the statistics but assume the fillies and mares do peform worse then male horses.
Now, I cannot give a link and I am not sure how researched it was, but I do remember seeing a report where one person ( might be a lady ) did some research and on her studies noticed that on a per start basis that males out performed females by about ( 10% just guessing here ) She then factored that percentage into her ratings or system.
It would not surprise me if I saw that on this website and it could of been Lucky Lil or one of her followers.
So, off the cuff, I would say males outperform females, just need to find a source because I have given up assuming anything anymore.
