AFLEET ALEX delivered one of the most memorable preaknessstakes performances of all time in 2005, as he nearly fell at the top of the lane and still managed to come back, winning by 4 3/4 lengths. The third-place finisher in that year’s GI kentuckyderby, he’d also go on to win the GI belmontstakes before retiring to stud. After 16 years of stud duty at gainesway, the dual American classic winner was pensioned last year and has since been enjoying the retired life on the farm! ☀️ #afleetalex #preakness #belmont #preaknessstakes #belmontstakes #2005 #triplecrown #kentuckyderby #preaknesswinner #belmontwinner #pimlico #belmontpark #alex #gainesway #gaineswayfarm #kentucky #lexington #visitlex #visithorsecountry #horse #horses #equine #horseracing #racehorse #stallion #equestrian #equestrianlife #horsesofinstagram #horsesofinsta
