Afleet Alex Wins Preakness!
I am thrilled. What a great race, what an amazing horse, and what a brilliant ride by Jeremy Rose. Final time was 1:55, and Alex won despite a near-disastrous collision with an unfocused and drifting Scrappy T at the top of the stretch. Knocked to his knees, Afleet Alex bounced up and stormed down the stretch as though nothing had happened. It was easily the most impressive performance we’ve seen all spring. Scrappy T finished second, Giacomo third.
