If he couldn't find it within himself to beat GIACOMO then he didn't deserve to be a Triple Crown winner.

he tucked in off the heals of Greelys Galaxy going into the first turn and was on the rail until coming out after the QP.

trust me, I have watched that race a time or two.

Oh, I didn't mean any of that as a personal opinion. I really couldn't recall why Afleet Alex had a "bad" trip in the Derby and had a vague recollection that this was the excuse.

Basically, I used the intial post about Afleet Alex to use as a springboard to rant about other, more interesting Triple Crown years that don't involve Giacomo...

God, I wish I was still in my 20s.

I've lived in my apartment for 20 years.
