Es-ken-de-ray-ah, I think. xD

And, he's amazing. He's going to the Derby?! O:

[Greatalmightyqueen]

The two pronunciations I've listed are the ones I've actually heard used. Either way, it's the Arabic word for the city of Alexandria, in Egypt. :) And yes! He ran this race today and is Derby-bound!

Too bad he's out of the Derby! :( He was my favorite!

The chills still go down my back during this race. I can't remember the last time a 3-year-old colt send chills down my spin. Rachel and Zenny were doing it last year but that's different.
