I am certainly not a part of that 'clique' and I don't think I ever started a thread like that, but I will warn you that if Bernardini loses this year I will be on here in about 2 seconds questioning how the horse that people already awarded HOY and the best horse in 25 years could possibly have lost.
As for Flower Alley being overhyped on this board, I don't think he was. I have come on this board and PREDICTED that FA would win HOY, and I know some other people have too. There is nothing wrong with making predictions, even when it turns out that we were probably wrong. Some big Bernardini fans however are not making predictions but declarations like "This horse can't lose." To me there is a difference. People that make declarations like that deserve to eat a little crow, if they are wrong.
