Afleet Alex proved that he was with out doubt the best 3-year old colt in the country as he won the Belmont by 7 lengths with jockey Jeremy Rose aboard.
The mile and one half distance set up perfectly for Afleet Alex, who came on strong off the far turn. The final time was a moderate 2:28 4/5 on a fast track.
Afleet Alex won the Preakness Stakes but had trouble in the Kentucky Derby because of the large field and some early contact. There is no question that if the Derby was ran again this horse would have a great chance of winning.
