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. Last edited by kentuckyrosesinmay : 10-16-2006 at 05:34 PM.

Todd is not the kind of guy to run a horse where he doesn't belong, even in a big money race. I was kind of surprised when they didn't retire him after the last race he ran. He trained well up here and there was honestly shock when he ran as poorly as he did. I guess like I said earlier, perhaps they found something that has been corrected. I notice a gap between his last race and his next workout. Thats usually an indication that a little problem was detected. I'm wondering if he had a problem in his last two races that they didn't detect until after his last race. If they've fixed it, its not impossible that he could run well here. I don't know about his fitness level, or how much time he actually missed after his last race, but he has to be trining ok for them to make a bold move like this. I guess we will see when he works down there, I'm sure his works will be highly scrutinized.

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...
