Spendthrift Farm’s undefeated Tommy Jo, the impressive winner of the Spinaway (G1) at Saratoga in her most recent start, headlines a field of six 2-year-old fillies entered Monday for Friday’s 74th running of the $650,000 Darley Alcibiades (G1).
The Darley Alcibiades is one of three stakes on Friday’s 10-race program that kicks off the 17-day Fall Meet that runs through Saturday, Oct. 25.
In the other two Friday stakes:
The 173rd running of the $400,000 Stoll Keenon Ogden Phoenix (G2) drew a field of six. The race features Qatar Racing and Mrs. Fitri Hay’s Nakatomi, the $1.7 million earner who has been runner-up in the race the past two years.
The 35th running of the $400,000 Jessamine (G2) Presented by Keeneland Sales drew a field of 12 plus two also-eligibles. The race is headed by Repole Stable’s undefeated Time to Dream, winner of the P.G. Johnson (L) at Saratoga in her most recent start.
