Afleet Alex proved he is the real thing with an amazing stretch run
to win The 137th Belmont Stakes by seven lengths. Alex passed seven
horses in a burst going around the final turn and clocked a 24.2 in the
final quarter mile, the fastest final quarter since Arts and Letters in
1969. Look for the son of Northern Afleet to run this summer in The
Haskell and Travers with an eye on competing in The Breeders' Cup at
Belmont Park on October 29th.
