that alex got a lot of attention for his preakness effort, after a third in the derby....the icing on the cake was his belmont, and then off to stud. altho the derby is the big one, the other two are meaningful--IF the breeding is there as well. look at the derby winner from alex' year, giacomo. he got the roses, but not much attention from breeders. you have to have more than just the win, but the win for the right horse is a deal maker as well.
