2005 Belmont Stakes Review
Afleet Alex, a son of Northern Afleet, did his best imitation of a
speeding locomotive to claim the third and final leg of the Triple Crown,
the Belmont Stakes, as
the betting favorite. Afleet
Alex is owned by the Cash Is King limited partnership headed by Chuck Zacney, and trained by Delaware native Tim Ritchey. Jeremy Rose is
the winning rider. As we anticipated, Andromeda's Hero saved
face for Nick Zito by rallying strongly for the place. Giacomo,
again as we predicted, was badly compromised by the pace and tired badly in the stretch,
failing to hit
the board.
The
Horse-Race-Handicapping.Com computer analysis (see below)
identified several long shots as exotics possibilites and
Andromeda's Hero, Nolan's Cat and Indy Storm did not disappoint.
Just take a look at the return on the $100 Bankroll Plays.

June 8, 2005 Review
By Mr. Jim Lambert, Founder of Horse-Race-Handicapping.com
Andromeda's Hero:
To
me Andromeda's Hero is the most intriguing colt in the field. With
only seven races under his belt, he is still learning and eligible to
improve. And the signs are there. I keep looking back to the
April 6 Arkansas Derby, where a green Andromeda's Hero finished third
behind Afllet Alex, yes, that Afleet Alex, and Flower Alley, after
altering course in the stretch. The important talent he displayed
on that day is not so much hitting the board, but being
able to match the final sixteenth of Afleet Alex. Alex blew away the
field in the stretch, but Andromeda's Hero was merrily rolling along in
third. Now it is two months hence, and Hero is coming home to New
York where his mentor Nick Zito is "The Man." Hero is bred to
cherish the classic 1 1/2 mile Belmont distance, and he could be sitting
on a huge performance. This is where my money is going.
