Monday, August 01, 2005It is no surprise that the prospective field for the $1-million Haskell Invitational (gr. I) on Aug. 7 is growing by the day since Afleet Alex's defection, and could now draw as many as 13 starters.
Saturday, July 30, 2005As expected, the $1-million Haskell Invitational (gr. I) picture changed dramatically with the announcement Thursday that Afleet Alex would not run due to a condylar fracture.

Friday, July 29, 2005Preakness (gr. I) winner Afleet Alex, the favorite for Saturday's Belmont Stakes, settled into his new barn without a problem.

Monday, May 23, 2005Most Kentucky Derby (gr. I) works are pretty uneventful, but that certainly wasn't the case Thursday morning.
