Darci Brahma’s son Alibi is chasing an historic clean-sweep of the Four-Year-Old Challenge Series.
The Michael Clements-trained four-year-old has won the first two legs, the Steward’s Cup and the Patron’s Bowl, though there are doubts if he can successfully step up in trip in the final test on Sunday.
“I still think the 2000m is a query, but he came through the run (Patron’s Bowl) so well that I changed my mind about him not going to the Derby,” rider Glen Boss said.
“He’s an up-and-coming horse in a pretty commanding position right now. He’s won both Legs and people tend to forget that.
“In the Patron’s Bowl, he looked the winner for a big majority of the race. He’s got such a will to win. The distance is a query but there are a lot of the other horses who are in the same boat.”
