True, it was unfair of me to select any one ride by Chavez, when there were so many possibilities.

I did like, however, how Chavez sent Flower Alley into a drive midway through that Derby, and then ran him up on Spanish Chesnut's heels. Quite the clever plan.

I don't know that Afleet Alex was a one run closer. Most always thought of him as more of a stalker than a closer. Watch his Sanford sometime. I think he had about 37 "runs" in that race, including one all the way out to the outside rail.

Edit: that was the Hopeful of which I was thinking, not the Sanford.
