Afleet Alex 2007 - famous racehorse now retired

[bat6t]

I love this horse, Preakness 2005 was just amazing! Time for Hollywood to make a movie about who I think is the greatest horse ever. Thanks for posting this video.

[Kostly]

He had something most others don't. Should have been the TC winner. He was more than enough horse.

[cmanganella]

Giacomo is not dead he is retired at Adena Springs.

[moonhowl977]

Love you Afleet Alex! You weren't the greatest of all, but you will always be my favorite!

[meroko15701]

God Bless Afleet Alex :) I remember him~ I'm so glad he's well and retired, and didn't meet such a sad fate that Giacomo had to~

[moonhowl977]

What happened to Giamoco?

[meroko15701]

He broke his back ankle...at least I believe so. I know he fractured something, but the injury kept getting worse to the point that they had to put Giacomo down ):

[moonhowl977]

That's sad. :(

[RuffianZenyatta15]

@meroko15701 Giacomo is still alive..... Hes healthy and happy as a breeding stallion now....

[Kostly]

Favorite race horse of all time. I hope he lives a long healthy life.

gyönyörűszép ló :)

[ArchDandy1134]

I have no issue with the stud chain, however, as previously stated hes a very "chill stallion" and that handler I feel has rough hands, this makes headshy horses.

[10shutt]

nice barrington levy dub. thanks artemishoney,i too thought he was sick.

[armageddonff]

wow i thin he is one of the most chill stallions i've ever seen.

[ruffianrulz]

also 4 all u weirdos that think stud chains r cruel,they r not.4 example if a stud did not have a chain on and a mare wuz nearby........u don't wanna know.

[ruffianrulz]

alex rocks he got chubby

[nicoleloveschief]

no cuz my horse did that and we had to call the vet and he dont have a bit in

[jeremyrosefan]

@nicoleloveschief well unless your horse had rabies or something? Besides, Afleet Alex is a major breeding stallion, and is worth a lot of money, so they would do something if he needed medical attention...

[nicoleloveschief]

something is wrong with that horse he has spit comeing out his mouth that anit good

[ArtemisHoney]

actually that's a really good thing. if horses are foaming, or building up spit in their mouth that means they are very accepting and comfortable with the bit that is in their mouth. When there is no bit and they lick and chew alot it means they are very relaxed, happy, and trusting of the people they are with. It's basic horse language. If there is no foam or spit that usually means they are grinding on the bit and biting down which means it's uncomfortable and they dislike it.

[Jumper88London]

He's retired????

[ChevalRouge911]

Stud chains are NOT cruel, anyone who thinks so needs to educate themselves. Chains are used to keep a horse under control. Even my gelding requires one.

[asktheninja]

You're only meant to gently pull on the chains if the horse begins to get very excitable or out of control. It puts pressure on to his nose or his tongue, so it's not something to be constantly pulled at unnecessarily. The guy is pulling at it for no apparent reason.

[ashado19]

they have to yank on the chains, but forgot why they do

[erinnet113]

I got to meet Afleet Alex. It was pretty amazing.

[ashellygirl]

it looked like the guy hit him in the mouth i think they need lead rope like i use for the stallions

[tattynsmokey]

sooooooooo cute

[carolineluvszeke]

The chain is not sad hes a stallion.

[zanzibar120]

Afleet Alex is a beautiful but very rambunctious. The need the chain although they DID pull it a bit much.

[prettycoolgrl]

he's really pretty! its just sad how much they yank on him and on top of it the chain is through his mouth

[all4pharlap]

u try lead a TB stallion without one

especially if a mare is in sight

[marc19ar]

his preakness win is one of my fav..

[afleetalexgirl]

that is the best racehorse to ever step on the track! i love ya Alex!!!

[aaronbees]

He looks like a million bucks (well, more actually). What a gutsy horse on the track.

[tatomka]

what is the reggae song you have playing here?

[Jakeandsonny]

Long Beach Dub Allstars - "Revoloution Dub", but I chopped it up a bit to fit the video!

[tatomka]

this horse should have been a triple crown winner

[barbarolover]

hes so cute!

how old is he now?

[Jakeandsonny]

Afleet Alex is 5 years old.

[Kostly]

[barbarolover]
