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:
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
