That was an unbelievable race by Afleet Alex and the incident on the turn, makes his margin of victory much smaller than it would have been.
Scrappy T. ran a game race, not sure why Dominguez is hitting him left-handed in the middle of the turn.... But he was second best, by a mile.
What happened to the rest of these horses? What is it with this group of 3 year olds? Anybody see the beaten lengths numbers? Scrappy T. was five lengths better than the 3rd place finisher. Then you have Greeley's galaxy beat by 20, High Fly by 26, Noble Causeway by 19, Closing ARgument by 27, and Mr. Lukas and Going Wild by 42.
Another strange reason, not in that the winner was a surprise, but how many of the supposed "good" horses, never picked up their feet.
No 3 year old could get within 5 lengths of Scrappy T?
Zito's horses were all bums again.
Stute plans to work Greeley's GAlaxy another 5/8 of a mile tomorrow.... :)
The Belmont is not going to be a race to look forward to. Exactly which tomato can can you bet on against Afleet Alex? Not with my money.
