Hmmm ... Flower Alley went a mile in 1:35.4.
A few races earlier ... $25,000 maiden claimers went a mile in 1:36 ... and they still had another 1/16 to go. Not impressive at all time-wise ... but it was his first outing in eight months ... so there's room for improvement ... ... and he'll need to improve a lot in order to compete with Mayan King. I don't think it'll happen ... but good luck.

it's just a shame (to me) that this horse had to be gone so long between the bcc and his four year old debut.
i guess one way to look at it is that there used to be a 'season' to racing. everyone stopped in the fall, no racing in winter, and then everyone started back in the spring. now there's racing all year thru--which is good for fans, but not so good for horses. but is it really and truly too much to ask that a horse run more than a few times a year? i guess for some it is. yeah, hoy may not be earned in the first half of the year, but i don't think it should be earned exclusively in the second half either.
