MR. ALEC (g, 3, Mr. Sidney–Silva {Fr} {MSW-Fr, $104,151}, by Anabaa) had only one start under his belt, an 8 1/2-furlong Monmouth maiden on the lawn Aug. 17 where he rallied late to just miss by a neck. Going another 1 1/2 furlongs here as the 2-1 choice, he went straight to the front, but was quickly challenged and passed by Asdaaf (Medaglia d’Oro). Mr. Alec was content to take back to third along the hedge and bided his time until the final turn, when he was roused and tipped out. He dueled briefly with Asdaaf before sailing right by for a 1 3/4-length triumph. He swished his tail a few times down the lane, but the rallying Compliant (Kitten’s Joy) couldn’t catch him and had to settle for second. Mr. Alec=s dam has 2-year-old filly Sylvanella (The Factor); a yearling filly by Munnings; and a colt born this year by Flintshire (GB). His third dam is multiple French Group 1 winner Silvermine (Fr) (Bellypha {Ire}).
