There is a reason why #3 Tommy Jo (2-5) is an overwhelming favorite to win $ 650,000 Darley Alcibiades Stakes on the opening day of the Keeneland Fall Meet: she is the fastest angri tribe in the field.
Tommy Jo owns the two highest Brisnet speed assessments and the two highest Beyer speed rates among the six participants for this degree 1 race for 2-year-old mares. She earned her fast figures while placing two simple victories of two starts during the summer in Saratoga. First she held a first special weight with 3/4 lengths about the next winner. She then crushed the grade 1 spinaway stakes competition with 6 1/2 lengths.
There is no reason to think that Tommy Jo will falter in the Alcibiades. A possible obstacle is the fact that she is tackling a two-pale race for the first time, but as a daughter of multi-year-old leader from the pioneer of the mother of the Nile Mare-Mother, Tommy Jo is bred to enjoy the 1/16-Mile distance of the Alcibiades.
In short, we recommend Bettors Toommy Jo to achieve her third victory of so many starts. But because a profit on Tommy Jo will not pay much, we have to turn to exotic bets such as the exact (select the top two finishers in order) and the Trifecta (select the top three finishers in order) to stimulate the potential payouts.
Which mares should we use under Tommy Jo? Certainly #1 bar of percy (3-1), Our clear second choice. The Bar van Percy opened her career with back-to-back victories in Kentucky (including a five-length romp in the debutant stakes at Churchill Downs), before she took her match on the road to Saratoga for the SpinAway. The bar of Percy turned out not to be a match for Tommy Jo, but she was clearly better than the rest and finished second while she pulled 4 3/4 lengths from third place.
For third place, mix in #2 Go to girl (20-1) and #4 The Grumpy Rabbit (12-1), a few fillies trained by Kenny McPeek. Both Exit Maiden Special Weight Victories Racing One Mile in Ellis Park, and they have Eclipse Award-winning Jockeys Irad Ortiz Jr. And flavien prat, respectively, mentioned for driving.
