He was incredible! (See my other post under "Was that amazing, or what?)

I bought several of the "Awe-Inspiring Afleet Alex" buttons before the Derby.

For anyone interested, here's a link to the website.

They also have some really neat posters with the image of little Alex of Alex's Lemonade Stand looking over Alex's shoulder. Maybe she was watching over him today.

P.S. I think some of the profits from the sale of these items go to Alex's Lemonade Stand.

I'de call that a "miraculous" recovery, after going to his knees at that speed, he definitely had a little angel looking out for him today.

It's not often we get to witness a miracle, but we saw one today.

Please forgive my spelling-typing.

Maybe I should cease posting, until I learn to proof read.

liberty... I was just taken by the ironic humor because, in fact, a mare named Grat DID win the sixth at Churchill on Saturday and trifecta DID pay over eight thousand so I had a little fun at your expense... sorry... we all make mistakes, especially typing ones!
