It was during the Preakness Stakes that Afleet Alex stumbled to his knees, nearly tossing his jockey, Jeremy Rose. But then, as quickly as he stumbled, Afleet Alex recovered and powered his way to a first-place finish. In a post-race interview, when asked how he managed to hang on, Rose replied, “An angel kept me safe. There was someone up there who helped us. Little Alex kept me on.” 🏇 That day, the connection between Alex and Afleet Alex was unmistakable. 💛 #preaknessstakes #triplecrown #afleetalex #childhoodcancer #kentuckyderby
