i believe he did not. if you ranked all the horses that ended their careers with three victories by earnings, he would have to be at or near the top.

Much like Giacomo, this horse would have been long forgotten if Jeremy Rose had figured out how to ride Afleet Alex sooner. Once Rose let Afleet Alex lope along down the backstretch (Preakness, Belmont) and make a big run around the far turn and into the stretch, he was a tough racehorse.
Unfortunately it seemed to take Rose awhile to figure that out and so, we have "G1 winners" from that crop like Wilko and Giacomo.

Everyone quit being so hard on lil' Wilko. He wasn't very big or fast, but he ran his heart out when he was younger.
