Flower Alley, give me a break. Hes a nice horse, had a nice win in a weak Travers Field where the best horse was coming off a long layoff and injury and rana bang up but still distant second to HOY Saint Liam. Hasnt stepped foot on the track in almost 9 months and his name still gets thrown around as one of the best older horses in training.

Until he wins a few as a 4 year old, his name should not be mentioned with the likes of those who have at least run and have wins under their belt like Lava Man, Surf Cat, Buzzards Bay and Brass Hat.

Tim Surf cat has NEVER beaten a real field, never. No way can you put him on any list of top horses until he does.

Beating bad horses > not running at all

When we last saw Flower Alley, he was better than almost anyone in training now. He'll be in the top 3 when they head to Churchill in October.

I am not doubting his talent or ability and would be surprised if he wasnt a top horse by the BC. But until he races his name doesnt belong with Lava Man or Surf Cat.
