Four Furlongs in :46
Wow: Afleet Alex worked four furlongs handily in :46 at Belmont this morning (Blood-Horse). “This work was to get some air in his lungs,” [rider Jeremy] Rose said afterward. “We ran to the pole a lot more than last time just to make sure it was a consistent work. This was a lot stronger than his last work. I let him run the last half-mile and he seemed to enjoy it. He was really picking it up in the stretch.” Next for Alex: A prep race.
