I think he has a better chance in the money than George Washington. Let them all come back from the race safe and sound.

George Washington has some solid dirt influences in his pedigree. Stamina too. He's a miler over there but should have no problem getting 10f.

I just hope they give him the big "L" on race. No horse should go through his career without experiencing the wonders of Lasix .

Flower Alley might be a bet for me -- he'll go off at a huge price.

this is great news. i hope everything works out and ALL of the top contenders are there. i love when a horse like flower alley enters a big race like this and totally screws up betting....especially the exotics. i probably won't bet him at all....but his impressive past form and the decision by his connections scare the hell out of me.
it is stuff like this that makes this such a fun game.

This doesn't surprise me at all because I suggested this about a month ago. I knew that they were keeping him in training for a reason, and I figured that it wasn't for the Mile or the Clark. However, I did think that they would have announced it a little sooner. They had me thinking that they were pointing the horse to one of the two races that I mentioned above as of late since they waited so long to announce it.

I'm including the horse in my exotics. And yes Seattle, I'm sure that they do know something that we don't.

Really, you said that a month ago, but you said this last week, what changed?

I know PG. That is why I EXPLAINED IT IN MY POST ABOVE!!! They waited so long to announce which race he was going to point to that I gave up on the fact that I thought that he was going to go to the BCC.

And I did say my reasons a month ago as to why I thought that FA was going to be pointed to the BCC. Several posters can vouch for me on that, although I don't know if I said it on the open forum or through PMs. I think I said it somewhere on the forum though...
