Miss Macy Sue, Dam of Not This Time and Liam’s Map, Passes Away at 22

[Wandering Eyes]

Graded winner Miss Macy Sue (Trippi), an accomplished racemare and the dam of MGISW Liam's Map (Unbridled's Song) and GSW & GISP Not This Time (Giant's Causeway), has died at the age of 22, Taylor Made announced Friday afternoon.

The 2007 winner of the GIII Winning Colors Stakes at Churchill Downs, and runner-up in her title defense a year later, competed in the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint at Monmouth Park in 2007, finishing third when it was still a Listed stakes.

Upon retirement, she left an even greater mark on the breed via her aforementioned sons–half-brothers Liam's Map and Not This Time. In between those two she produced SW & GSP Taylor S (Medaglia d'Oro) and her last to the races was MSW & GSP Matera (Tapit). Miss Macy Sue hailed from the female line of two-time champion sprinter Ta Wee (Intentionally), herself a half-sister to the great Horse of the Year and multiple champion, Dr. Fager.

“We would like to express our condolences to the Albaugh Family on the passing of Miss Macy Sue,” said Mark Taylor. “Many great mares have spent their careers with us here at Taylor Made, but none have left a legacy like this incredible mare. There is no doubt she will continue to shape the breed through her sons, Liam's Map and Not This Time. Mares like Miss Macy Sue are truly once in a lifetime horses.”

“Miss Macy Sue was one of the first horses we ever owned,” said Albaugh Family Stables managing partner Jason Loutsch. “She was our first graded stakes winner and took us to Saratoga and to the Breeders' Cup.  Without Macy, there would be no Albaugh Family Stables.”

“She was remarkable both on and off the track and has changed all of our lives. She meant so much to the entire Albaugh family and we will miss feeding her peppermints on our visits to Taylor Made.”
