The Alcibiades takes its name from the great foundation mare Alcibiades, who was owned by Hal Price Headley, one of Keeneland’s founders. More than a dozen stakes winners, including Menow, Firm Policy, Salaminia, Lithe, Rash Statement, Secret Hello, Silent Account and Sir Ivor, descend from Alcibiades. Walmac International sponsored the Alcibiades from 1997-2002. Darley began sponsoring the race in 2003.
