Well, you failed to remember that I did say that Flower Alley was going to the Classic about three weeks to a month ago. I even included him in some of my picks on a thread. Then everyone else said that it would be cruel to run the horse in the Classic. In the back of my mind, I even thought that there was still a chance that he would be put into the Classic, but I also thought that the Clark would have been the most logical spot for the horse based on the fact that the horse has not been running great, and the fact that his connections were waiting so long to announce where the horse was going to race. Heck, it wouldn't have surprised me if they would have retired the horse even though they had kept him working. Based on the injury that the horse most likely has, he'll be good for this race and I think that he can hit the board.

Care to enlighten everyone what kind of injury FA has? I'm interested in knowing...

Todd announced that Master Command was going to the Clark off his Meadowlands Cup win. As such, he wants to get MC his G1 win and perhaps he feels that FA would likely upset that chance.
FA has had some ongoing issues but IMO, they should have run him over the late winter early spring when he was "right." The issues sprung up after the Salvator Mile win in the slop.l
