than why are they continuing on with him?? if something IS wrong, why keep going? if it's not serious enough to warrant stopping, than it isn't serious enough to keep him from competing, right? i think pletcher took it too easy with him. he had a big plan that worked out on paper, problem is you have to do it, not just show it can be done. the horse obviously wasn't ready to tackle the likes of invasor and sun king...who would have thought it? no one, everyone expected this horse to come out from last fall and win everything he entered....pletcher must have believed it too. oops.

i'm not saying flower alley got lost, but maybe he didn't pay as much attention, maybe he thought flower alley was doing so well that he was on auto pilot with him.

gotta say, i appreciate the likes of lava man and his campaign this year, rather than soft flower alley and his....maybe this year will show people that going too lightly is wrong, moderation is the key. not too much, not too little.
