A days-long wet weather system forecast to affect central Kentucky this weekend could wreak havoc on Keeneland's signature program of the spring meet on Saturday, in particular the two stakes scheduled for the turf.

Odds-on favorite Adare Manor scored a repeat victory in Saturday’s $401,500 Clement L. Hirsch (G1) at Del Mar, but the real story was how she did it.

The knock on multiple Grade 1-winning millionaire Adare Manor is that she tends to beat up on inferior opposition, often by dictating as she pleases on the front end.
