Afleet Alex

Did you watch the Preakness? It was amazing! We were rooting for Afleet Alex. I was happy when Giacomo won the Kentucky Derby, just because he was a longshot and nobody thought he could do it. But for the Preakness, I wanted Afleet Alex to win. His name is Alex, named after the owners’ kids. Between them they have several kids named Alex. There are 5 owners, just “regular” people, who pooled their money and bough Alex for $75,000. What an investment!

And the best thing of all is that some of the money that Alex wins goes to help Alex’s Lemonade Stand. If you don’t know what that is, visit this site, you’ll be amazed. Plus, you’ll root for Afleet Alex at the Belmont!

We bought some Alex t-shirts, too. : )
