Afleet Alex is Back...and in a BIG way

Postby ZiaLand » Sat Apr 16, 2005 3:55 pm

Afleet Alex has been overlooked since his poor finish in his last race, after which he was determined to have a lung infection. With his convincing win in the Arkansas Derby today, the bay colt has served notice that he is definitely back in top form. Hopefully this talented colt will again get the respect he deserves.

Go, Alex, Go!

Hi Zialand

Don't believe it's been announced yet.

I'm looking forward to it also.

Absolutely huge race...especially when you consider he got NOTHING out of his last start.

Best to you.

I think they gave Afleet Alex a 108 BSF for the Arkansas.
