Big Purse and a BC Spot at Stake in Alcibiades
The Grade 1 Alcibiades is about as good as it can get for two year old fillies, as the race offers a generous $600.000 purse and the coveted ticket to the BC Juvenile Fillies. That purse is an increase of $100.000 from last year, and last year saw a similar increase from 2021, so the status of this race is quite impressive, indeed.

Numbskull Wisely Captures The Pilgrim
The gate was full for the running of the Grade 2 Pilgrim as trainers took their shot at securing the automatic spot into the BC Juvenile Turf that is given to the race winner.
