You could go to the archives (Mar. 19 I think-the date of the Rebel). At least some of you were suggesting Alex should go back to Del. He was just a sprinter it was said. Didn't much care for J. Rose either as I recall.

Well, they're never as good as they look on their best day and never as bad as they look on their worst. If you remember Smarty's Preakness from last year you'll know Alex is no lock in the Belmont.

The nice thing is, a tragedy was narrowly averted and the best horse still won the race.
