Race Preview

The G1 Darley Alcibiades Stakes is the feature race from Keeneland on Friday, as a field of fillies aged two compete over a distance of 1 1/16 miles. As well as offering a purse of $650,000, the winner will also secure their spot in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies.

Tommy Jo will be a red-hot favorite for the Todd Pletcher team this week, as she bids to register a third straight win. She holds a clear advantage over the field based on the form in the book, which includes a six-length win over Percy’s Bar in the G1 Spinaway Stakes.

That form gives Percy’s Bar a mountain to climb this weekend. However, a better run is likely, as the runner-up in the Spinaway is likely to be raced nearer to the prace. The two-year-old was progressive before that defeat, winning on her first two starts under rules.

Go To Girl has a recent victory to her name, and Kenneth McPeek’s fillies always deserve huge respect. Haute Diva is a fascinating runner having got off the mark at the fourth attempt last time out. She could be primed for a bold showing now up to a mile and sixteenth.


Darley Alcibiades Stakes Picks

Everything suggests that Tommy Jo could potentially be very smart. She will need to improve on her Spinaway win to land the spoils on Friday, but there is every chance that this step up in distance will bring out more progression in the Pletcher runner.
