Horse Race Traffic and a Stumble
Afleet Alex has a very strong performance in 2005 at the Preakness. Elected to move from the rail to the middle of track and ran into traffic. Disaster was averted out of the final turn, and then he pulled away down the stretch and took the wire.
I have personally seen horses stumble out of the gate and go on to win, but have never seen a horse stumble late in the race and finish strong and win. Awesome!
