The Afleet Alex tangent begun with the question of a colt winning a G1 sprint and nearly winning the 10f KY Derby. Did Alex win a G1 sprint? I know he won a sprint early at 3 (Mountain Valley?) but it was ungraded. Did he win the Hopeful or something?
I think that Hard Spun's excellent TC campaign followed up with a G1 sprint win (later followed by two good routes against major horses) is better than Alex's 3yo campaign, though Alex did have to stop after the Belmont.
More Than Ready was nowhere near as versatile as Hard Spun though he did surprise me with his Derby.
