Any word on Alpha and if they intend to run in the Belmont.  Thought his grinding style and pedigree really fit the race.

Alpha works for possible Belmont start

On Saturday morning at Belmont Park, Godolphin Racing\'s Alpha turned in his first timed workout since a 12th-place finish in the May 5 Kentucky Derby. The son of Bernardini, a two-time stakes winner at Aqueduct this winter, covered four furlongs over the main track in :49.

\"We\'re not deciding anything yet, we\'re just going to watch things and let the horse tell us,\" said Art Magnuson, assistant to trainer Kiaran McLaughlin. \"He\'s doing great though; good work yesterday, in hand.\"
