Title: Afleet Alex
Post by: big18741 on May 16, 2005, 03:48:40 PM
10 career starts  

5 of them were sprints where he is undefeated.

Lets examine his 5 route races:

2nd to Proud Accolade in the Champagne

2nd to Wilko in the BC Juv

Last in the Rebel with an excuse.

Solid runaway win in the Ark chasing a soft pace.

Excuseless 3rd in the Derby-passed by a 50-1 plodder and can\'t run down a 71-1 shot that was chasing a hot pace.

You want him as the 2-1 favorite on Saturday?

my point exactly....IMO Giacomo is a great bet compared to Afleet Alex.....oh wait, let me guess.  Its the tight turns that will help him out (which aint any tighter)

Fellas, the race will be over when \"Gia\" begins his run.....If you hate your money, bet against Alex.....

Then, you\'re not betting to win? We can make money. Let\'s just fill in the 2/3/4 positions. Alex wins this race by 5......

 Afleet Alex\'s very unhealthy looking pattern is aprx less even money to bounce again +  4-1 for being distanced due to a breaking down to a degree or completely during the running of the race . Closing Argument if goes might not be through , Wilko may be a true late developer and has numbers which suggest soundness - might also have another move now . I\'m wondering whether King T has some trick up his sleeve...
