To be perfectly honest I think if you switched his trip with Hesanoldsalt's the result would have been closer than it was.

Agree. Also see where someone mentions Afleet Alex' Preakness. I don't know about u but I thought that stumble was overrated too. It happened so quickly that Alex never lost momentum. I was grilled for saying that I didn't think that incident cost him any more than a length or so that day.
