Looks like Alex would have run about a 1.54.2 without the incident. Thats real racehorse time.
If Spectacular Bid can lose the Belmont, any horse can lose it. Bid, though more than capable of the distance moved early with an inexperienced jockey. The same thing happened to Smarty Jones, though Smarty did some of it himself. Alex is not that kind of horse and he's got deep resevoirs of female family stamina. I know I said the same thing about Funny Cide, but the pace scenario is key here. Alex is perfect, Alex is sweet, Carnations for Alex, the horse can't be beat.
