Afleet Alex Deal Pending

The Blood-Horse is reporting that a deal “is in the works” for the breeding rights to Afleet Alex. Cash Is King spokesman J.J. Graci confirmed this afternoon that Castleton Lyons of Kentucky was one of the farms bidding and that the stable still plans to run Alex as a four-year-old. “The sale is for the breeding rights only,” Graci said. “Chuck [managing partner Chuck Zacney] was emphatic that Alex will race next year under Cash Is King Stable.”
