Default Suwannee River Handicap

Looks like an excellent betting race; a number of solid filly/mare turfers and a big field.

Here's a few random thoughts:

Basically no speed in here. I'm still trying to figure out who's going to get the lead. My Rachel has been prompting the pace in her last two but those were two slow paced 12 furlong races. Aunt Henny shouldn't be too far back.

If you're Johnny V, wouldn't you have a choice between the two Pletchers? Apparently Angel likes My Rachel more than J'Ray. But with the likely pace scenario, maybe he's on to something.

Those who strictly look at stakes grading will occasionally get thrown off, especially when the graded stakes committee drops the ball. If you look at the designations for some of Aunt Henny's races, you see the Grade 3 Honey Fox (against Wait a While and Precious Kitten) the ungraded Magna Distaff (against Vacare) and the Grade 3 Galorette against Precious Kitten. Clearly those were stronger than Grade 3 level. I don't know if she'll win but she looks like the value in here.
