Actually, he came up from Calder to win the 9f graded stakes at Prairie Meadows. Has improved out of recognition from 3 to 4, dismiss out of hand at your own risk. Didn't Roses in May a couple of years back come into the Whitney off of a Cornhusker win? And win the Whitney, too?

Yes Roses in May looked beaten when Perfect Drift drew along side, but go figure, Perfect Drift couldnt get by. Great race. Peace Rules was very disappointing in that race.

I think Flower Alley will win.

Roses In May ran a fantastic race in the Whitney with incredible fractions carried right to the wire. It catapulted him to stardom.

This year could be a great race as well. On their game, any of these horses could factor. We'll have to take a closer look.

I think if it was any other horse, he would have went by Roses in May, but it was our favorite hanger Perfect Drift. Roses was a very good horse, but lets not get carried away. Stardom? That Dubai World Cup was a nice performance over a bunch of turf horses.

roses was good. lucky too, which on the right day will pay huge dividends.

i guess come sunday we'll have a whole new round of '_______' will be HOTY after he wins the whitney....

but who will it be??

If Flower Alley does not win the Whitney he has absolutely no chance of winning HOY.

The only 2 with a shot would be Bernardini and the Lava Man....

But FLower Alley will win the Whitney. Hes a very good horse and loves Saratoga. Whos going to beat him, Sun King? Pleeeease.

His 2nd to Ghostzapper while beating Pleasantly Perfect at Lone Star was a very nice race
