I thought the final margin was very deceptive. Saint Liam could've probably dusted him by 10 lengths if he wanted to. So he comes out and beats a small field of nobodies in the Salvatore Mile.......let's face it. This horse was NEVER going to be a legit Horse of the Year candidate.

Flower Alley was SECOND to St. Liam in last year's BC Classic in the race I watched . I am no great fan of this horse, but those are the facts .
