Excerpt from the bloodhorse online--The official statement I guess


Trainer Todd Pletcher said Flower Alley, the Whitney favorite who faded to seventh, obviously needed the race.

"I was concerned that with only one race under his belt this year he might not be in peak form," Pletcher said. "I would have liked to see him finish up a little better than he did. I know he's a lot better than that, so we'll just regroup and point for the Woodward."

Pletcher said he was pleased by the third-place effort turned in by West Virginia. Both horses came out of the Whitney well, he said.
