I’ll Have Another was never meant to be a great racehorse. His sire Flower Alley, who at the time was considered to be so-so, wasn’t exactly turning heads with his progeny. When this chestnut colt entered the Keeneland sales ring as a yearling in September of 2010, the audience wasn’t too impressed. He brought only [...]
