Really, don't think LITF deserves consideration for the eclipse. He'd have a slightly stronger argument if he's skipped the B.C. Sprint, but having run in it and having been exposed as padding his record in a weak restricted class, LITF's standing slips markedly.
Experienced handicappers knew the Sprint was going to be LITF's Waterloo. Oh, I know, I know, past posting again...lol

And Yes, a healthy Alex would have beat Flower Alley by a half pole in the Classic too.
