I predict Flower Alley will be back. He ran awful in the Jockey Club last year and then returned to run big in the BC. The two speedsters Wanderin Boy and Siphon City made most of them running close to the pace want to throw in the towel except for the real deal (Invasor) and the two late runners. I'm not giving up on Flower Alley yet. Seems like they always run big just when you give up on 'em. I imagine a lot of folks gave up on Sun King too, but he looks lilke a different horse with a change in tactics. Not to say that Pletcher can do that with FA. Just don't think it was his day, but I think there will be others.
