What the Nation is saying about Afleet Alex...

Where do the best young sires come from? They don’t come from the most insightful advertising, although it never hurts. They don’t always shine out of the sales results, although there sometimes is good support from perceptive buyers and a degree of positive response from the marketplace. The provin...Read More
The 141st Travers Stakes (gr. I) Aug, 28 was all about fathers and sons. Hall of Fame trainer Allen Jerkens has been known to weep openly following a victory, even after six decades as one of the top trainers in America. His most recent tears had been shed on Aug. 27 when he won a 3-year-old maiden ...Read More
I can see three of his sons are running in the Travers, Afleet Express, Afleet Again and Admiral Alex. Good Luck! This horse had to miss the Travers when he was 3, but maybe he'll be the sire of a Travers winner
Franny Freud has had very few slips in her career; in fact she has never been beaten sprinting on the dirt. In a six-race juvenile career, she won four races, including the Ontario Debutante Stakes, Lady Finger Stakes and Fifth Avenue Stakes, her only defeats coming when second in the My Dear Stakes...Read More
With a view to the future, it’s possible that the most significant race of the final weekend of springtime in the U.S. was the Pegasus Stakes (gr. III) June 19 at Monmouth. This is the time to look for potential “second season” stars, and with a decisive 1¾-lengths win here Afleet Express placed him...Read More

HRN Editor Jarrod Horak will recap all of the action from the Jersey Shore, including track bias information and horses to watch. This is his fifth in a series of reports from Monmouth Park. June 18 (day 12) - Fast ...Read More
With a view to the future, it’s possible that the most significant race of the weekend in the U.S. was the Pegasus Stakes (gr. III) at Monmouth. With plenty to play for as far as leadership of the 3-year-old male division is concerned, this is the time to look for potential "second season" stars, an...Read More

Another rail-hugging victory by jockey Calvin Borel aboard Super Saver in the Kentucky Derby (gr. 1) presented by Yum! Brands has riding accolades again being directed at the popular Cajun rider and deservedly so. But with the Preakness Stakes (gr. 1) less than two weeks away and a full field...Read More

  • mdracing69 · Codex intimidating Genuine Risk was vintage Cordero and is definitely one ride I won't forget. I was a young boy watching my first Preakness in 1980 and my mom bet $2 on Genuine Risk for me. I am still mad at that bully Cordero, lol. · 122 days ago
  • humphrey · Cordero would have been taken down in ANY OTHER RACE. There just has never been a DQ in that one. · 122 days ago
Afleet Again charged down the middle of the stretch past Ibboyee and favored D Funnybone and onto a 24-1 upset in the 131st running of the Grade 3, $150,000 Withers for 3-year-olds Saturday afternoon at Aqueduct Racetrack.   The gray son of Afleet Alex, who in his most recent appearance at Aque...Read More

DUBLIN (Afleet Alex—Classy Mirage, by Storm Bird) - Having grown up in Arkansas and around Oaklawn Park, I have fond memories of Arkansas Derby winners from the past.  And there has hardly been a more impressive winner of the Arkansas Derby than Afleet Alex, who went on to win the ...Read More
hmm? he raced well under rose but velazquez we see a sixth, probably the jockeys fault
You know you're going to read about 100,000 words over the next 10 days all about the Derby: Who's taking to the surface, who washed out, whose jockey fought who, where did Wayne Lukas get his teeth, etc.  So allow me a few small paragraphs to talk about the key to my Derby wagering...Read More

My run on ESPN.com began in 2000 with the opening of the new millennium and it's hard to believe there have been 10 years of bylines. Over the decade, we've had the chance to share many stories of intrigue, entertainment and titillation. But when you water horse racing down to its purest core, you a...Read More
A trio of fillies brought the highest prices during the tenth session of the Keeneland September yearling sale on Thursday. S G V Thoroughbreds paid $140,000 for the session topper, a filly by Malibu Moon out of the stakes-placed winning Quiet American mare My American Girl. She was consigned by Pet...Read More
Dublin, who races for Robert C. Baker and William L. Mack, has been considered a colt with a lot of promise from the get-go. From the first crop of 2005 champion 3-year-old male Afleet Alex, the muscular, long-striding colt was a $525,000 purchase at last year’s Keeneland September sale, fetching mo...Read More
Surprisingly, Dublin (Afleet Alex - Classy Mirage by Storm Bird) was the favorite at post time. He stumbled at the start, but recovered rather quickly to race in mid-pack.Read More
Champion and dual classic king AFLEET ALEX (Northern Afleet) was represented by his initial winner on Tuesday when Linda Harding's Kratisto registered a 25-1 upset of the 7TH race at Delaware Park, rallying from midpack to take the 5 1/2-furlong maiden special weight by a head under Irwin Rosendo.
