Afleet Alex, Giacomo Exercise
Afleet Alex went out for a two mile jog on Wednesday, in his first trip to the track since winning the Preakness last Saturday. “He was a touch stiff the first mile, which was to be expected,” said trainer Tim Ritchey. “But by the time he was jogging the second mile, his ears were up and he was jogging forward and striding right out.” (Thoroughbred Times)
Derby winner Giacomo jogged Wednesday at Hollywood Park. Trainer John Shirreffs still isn’t saying whether or not Giacomo will race in the Belmont. “It’s hard to say whether he will run. We just got him home. He’s got to ship all the way across the country to get there.” (Blood-Horse)
