That's a good one, Doug. I know you mean Afleet Alex not being there at all. But think about this....Afleet Alex is there, and he doesn't recover from the "incident". Scrappy T wins, and is the quickest DQ that any of us have ever seen. That would have made Giacomo the Preakness winner.

We need to thank Afleet Alex not just for being there, but for his heroics in that Preakness. If he hadn't done what he did, Giacomo would have been going for the Triple Crown in the Belmont, and that 3 weeks and those asterisks would have been pretty difficult to deal with.
