  • Flower Alley, born on May 7, 2002, is an American Thoroughbred racehorse. He was bred at Bona Terra Farms by George Brunacini who was killed in the August 27, 2006 crash of Comair Flight 5191 at Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, Kentucky. The colt is a son of Distorted Humor, a Mr. Prospector line sire whose other offspring include dual classic winner and champion Funny Cide. Flower Alley is actually inbred 3x3 to Mr. Prospector. His dam is the winning Princess Olivia by Lycius. Flower Alley was bought by the Melnyk Racing Stables of Laura and Eugene Melnyk for $165,000 at the 2003 Keeneland September yearling sale because the colt's dam is named Olivia. The Melnyks have a daughter named Olivia. Flower Alley has won the Grade II Jim Dandy Stakes, the Grade II Lane's End Stakes (in just his third career start), and, on August 27, the Grade I Travers Stakes at Saratoga. He is trained by Saratoga's leading trainer, Todd Pletcher, and was ridden in the Travers by top jockey John Velazquez. Flower Alley was a very strong second to Eclipse Award for Horse of the Year winner Saint Liam (who was sadly euthanized in August 2006 after a freak accident) in the Breeders' Cup Classic on October 30, 2005. Flower Alley spent his 2005 winter break in Ocala, Florida at his owner's Winding Oaks Farm, then trained at Churchill Downs for an early summer return to the track.
