Stud Career
Flower Alley stands at Three Chimneys Farm alongside Point Given, Rahy, Albert the Great, Big Brown, and their other stallions. The Midway, Kentucky, farm acquired a 50% ownership of Flower Alley, the second graded stakes winner by Distorted Humor to stand at stud. In May 2012 Flower Alley's son I'll Have Another won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes and was suddenly retired on the eve of the Belmont Stakes with an injury to his left front tendon. The colt became the 12th horse whose Triple try was derailed since Affirmed swept the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont in 1978, and it occurred without I’ll Have Another ever reaching the starting gate.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
