they put romone Dominguez in racing hall of Fame and yeah he had a head injury with a fall. but I'm sorry, I think this was terrible the way he stood up in the saddle and whipped his horse scrappy t. he give a huge left handed whip when most coming around a turn would of given a right handed whip and moved toward the rail instead of the stands. I thought he should of been fined or suspended. if nothing else I wonder why no one ever criticized him for his whip of scrappy t coming around the turn. if I was scrappy t I would of done the same thing, Dominguez was a jackass for hitting the horse this way. I was happy when he retired.
My favorite race ever. Afleet Alex showed the true heart of a champion
Afleet Alex’s stumble was way more severe than Alysheba’s.
Yes it was
@@laurenmichelle4007 I agree with you. He was reacting to the whip and jumped over 2 paths.
@@laurenmichelle4007 Almost shades of that go for wand's tragic fell in the 1990 BC Distaff

Afleet Alex got going in a hurry. Look at the far turn how much he accelerated.
7:11 belmont stakes will be a dour race because no triple crown at stake
Still one of my favorite years of horse racing
