My speculation is just that it will be given to Bernardini based on Bernardini's recent amazing display of raw talent and his improvement with every race plus the fact that he is being perfectly managed.
Why is the bringing up of Flower Alley even relevant? Bernardini and Flower Alley are two very different horses. I was on St. Liam's bandwagon. Most knew that St. Liam was going to win the BCC. That is why St. Liam was the favorite at post time. Flower Alley was a very good horse, but he was nowhere near the horse Bernardini was at this stage of the game last year. Every knowledgeable horse fan/player will concede that. Besides, Flower Alley finished 3/4ths of a length behind a horse that actually sniffed GZ's a s s which is saying something being that Flower Alley was only a three year old.

why is it relevant??? oh boy....because for every bernardini, we have twenty flower alleys. or more. because i'm a realist. because it seems every year we hear that a three year old is the next coming, he can walk on water. last year it was flower alley. that's why. bernardini might be ap indy redux. or he might be another flower alley, fupeg, war emblem, etc, etc....but the fun is in the finding out.
and nice jab about 'knowledgeable horse fan/player.....'
