Congratulations to those of you who signed up for our 2005 Belmont Stakes Picks
Package. For $19 we gave out our W,P,S horse as well as a couple exotic bets.
If you used a $100 bankroll and bet the horses just like we told you would
have cashed in tickets totaling $713. ($713 - $100 - $19 = $594 in total profit.)
Afleet Alex proved that he was with out doubt the best 3-year old colt in
the country as he won the Belmont by 7 lengths with jockey Jeremy Rose aboard.
The mile and one half distance set up perfectly for Afleet Alex, who came
on strong off the far turn. The final time was a moderate 2:28 4/5 on a fast
track.
Afleet Alex won the Preakness Stakes but had trouble in the Kentucky Derby
because of the large field and some early contact. There is no question that
if the Derby was ran again this horse would have a great chance of winning.

Individual Horse Results
Afleet Alex went into the inside in the early stages and
saved ground entering turn one. Horse was unhurried along the backstretch while
racing slightly off the rail. He launched a rally leaving the far turn and
swung wide for smooth sailing and at the quarter pole went to the front. Won
by 7 lengths.
Andromea’s Hero was out wide in the first turn and
did well in the back side. Then moved up between horses in the far turn and
took 2 nd.
Nolan’s Cat trailed for a half but turned it on and
closed the gap by the quarter poll to finish 3 rd.
Indy Storm raced in the middle of the pack for most of
the race and closed the gap down the stretch.
A.P Arrow moved up fast in the early stages but tired down
the stretch.
Chekhov started out just behind the leaders but dropped
back leaving the far turn
Giacomo had trouble breathing at the gate. He was unhurried
for half and advanced toward the end but tired down the stretch.
Southern Africa remained a factor for much of the race
but tired towards the end.
Watchmon, Riverberate and Pinpoint lacked response and
were never close.
