Afleet Alex
Afleet Alex isn't a Triple Crown champ, but was certainly very impressive. He blew away the field in the Belmont Stakes, winning by seven lengths.
I often lament the fact that I wasn't around to see Secretariat win by 31 lengths (I was born about two weeks after he did that). But, I shouldn't be too disappointed. I'll never forget when Afleet Alex almost fell, then shot past everyone in the Preakness. That was awesome! It's a moment that should live on forever in horse racing. Certainly the highlight of this year.
