Wins the Autumn after being shuffled back. He is just a little guy, but does he ever try his heart out!

I really like Flower Alley as a sire. Still mourning the loss of I'll Have Another to Japan.

Flower Alley is really underrated as a sire. Gets a very strong percentage of graded stakes winners and not because he has the best of the best mares.

Luke's Alley is a fun one and I hope he's around for a few years.

Flower Alley was underrated, and he's been sold to South Africa. Darn.

You're kidding. It seems as though all of the stallions that might have a chance of influencing stamina are removed from the gene pool of NA thoroughbreds as soon as equinely possible.
