Why does Afleet Alex's 2005 Belmont Stakes stand out?
The Belmont Stakes, last leg of the American Triple Crown, has been the least attended in several years with no potential Triple Crown title on the line. Race-goers are still waiting for a Thoroughbred who can add to Triple Crown lore left hanging since Affirmed achieved the triple sweep in 1978.
Three Thoroughbreds of the 1970s won the Triple Crown: Secretariat in 1973, Seattle Slew in 1977, and Affirmed the following year. None ripped the Belmont Stakes course to shreds like Secretariat. He traveled the challenging 1-1/2 miles distance of the contest in 2:24 flat, a distance record worldwide that still stands.
