One reason maybe that there are more big races for just mares now then there was years ago.
I know that is why at SP. Park Misty Raquel had to race in the FFA against Rambling Willie. There just wasn't many FFAs for mares.
I am just an old horse trainer still going around in circles. Sometimes Fast. Sometimes Half-Fast.

Definitely a large part of it.  The last race of the year for a while now is the TVG and if the mares didn't have their own maybe someone like Shartin would have tried.

That's true. Handle With Care raced in FFA events. More often than not, she beat the boys. I remember one race in
particular, against Young Quinn, where she won at 1 1/4 miles. (YR or RR)

April's Skipper won a couple of legs of the Presidential FFA Series. (BigM)

As much as it pains me to say this. I agree with The Thorn on this one. I feel so dirty now...
