I cant think of too much opposition Flower Alley will have to contend with in the Whitney. Maybe Suave, Perfect Drift, Seek Gold, possibly Buzzard Bay.
Its his home track and he'll be 3/5 and he'll probably romp like he did in last year's gerbil infested Jim Dandy.
What will that prove? Why is this anymore important than Lava Man beating a couple of past grade 1 winners on the turf, who werent at the top of their fomr cycle? Because its a race rich with tradition? Please. What does the history of the Whitney have to do with identifying this year's HOY?
We will see who comes and takes on Flower Alley in the Whitney. Then we will see how Lava Man does out West.
