I'm looking to get some value using Miss Macy Sue in late DDs with Gilded Thread on turf, Moneypenny on dirt. Gilded Thread should throw another 13 & change, which is competitive with these-not fastest going in, but right there. Should go off at a nice price. Although 1/14 her win was 2 races back & then she was outclassed and still ran a new top pressing the pace against better. On dirt, Moneypenny's three straight 8s tower over the others here. She paired on 15 days rest last, so I'm not expecting a big, if any, bounce. I'll save with Moneypenny on turf where she has a 13 last year here. I might also throw a saver in with Fort Carillon, who is fastest on turf but compromised by the 12 pp. Turf Muffin has competitive #s but is 1/22 with 6 2nds & hasn't won in years-only use underneath-no DD. While the 2 inside 3yos have some decent #s, I don't think they match up well against older-especially Litfin's best-#1, who last ran in a race restricted to 3yos.

Now, there is one problem-thunderstorms are supposed to come in right around post time for the 8 or 9th races. There's a possibility that if it's bad enough & most wagers are in, the 9th could get cancelled if the race can't be run on turf.
