KEE (Fri.): Darley Alcibiades (Gr. I)
I thought Dreaming of Liz looked pretty strong in her last two starts at Arlington. Unfortunately for her, the draw means that she has absolutely NO chance in here. I assume that her connections will just scratch her when they realize they drew the dreaded # 2.

she might get out easy if the jockeys play the early fractions slow

I am not sure which way I am going yet, but I think it makes sense to take a stand against Irish Smoke here. She looked better than these at Saratoga, but if she is anywhere close to her 2/1 ml, I think you have to try to beat a horse with her pedigree trying two-turns and 8.5f for the first time. Toss in the fact that she is trying poly for the first time, and I think you almost have to look elsewhere.
I'm just not sure where yet. Past Performances: http://www.brisnet.com/bris_link/pdfs/darley_89710.pdf

I think Minewander is a bit interesting as a longshot (20/1 ml). Even though her lone victory came in a 21k MSW at Ellis, she seems to be improving, and certainly made up some ground in her last at Arlington.
Keeneland figures to suit her style more than Arlington did, and unlike some in here, she may benefit from the increase in distance. She has also been training nicely since her show in the Lassie. With quite a few question marks surounding the favorites, I think she might have an outside shot. I certainly think she could be a factor in the exotics.

and Jim she has been training very well over the poly, biancone says 2 turns and distance will be no issue for her and she actually perfers the ploy more than the dirt

50-1 on Minewander at the moment seems like an exotics blowup waiting to happen.

Last years winner of this race was 47/1 shot maiden Bel Air Beauty. Can a maiden win this fine Grade 1 stake for a third time in a row? We'll sadly have to wait until next year before we know the answer to that question.

I don't like his tactics, but Bobby Frankel is an outstanding trainer and that horse was technically a maiden...but not really.

Can someone tell Bejarano that the winner is a SHE and not a HE?
