The Wood Memorial runner-up now appears healthy after emerging from that race with an infection.
Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said he plans to ship Alpha to Kentucky on Monday.
“We’re where we want to be, I wouldn’t change anything where we’re at today,” McLaughlin said. “To me, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him look better. He’s put on weight since the Wood; he’s bright, he’s happy, all systems are go.”
Alpha finished first at the Withers and Count Fleet earlier in the year.
