Alcibiades Stakes Analysis (Top 4 selections)
#6 Quickick (4-1) was 4-1 in her extended sprint bow at Saratoga and she rallied from far back to finish a clear third. La Cara wired the field in that race and clicked right back in the Grade 3 Pocahontas. This one added blinkers in another extended sprint at Saratoga on Sept. 1, and she stalked the pace from the inside post and edged away to graduate by 2 1/2 lengths. They paid $550k for this McKinzie filly and her stakes-winning dam has produced 10 winners from 11 starts (3 stakes winners). Tom Amoss has good stats with shippers and her winning rider Dylan Davis is enjoying a fine year.
