Flightline simply tookm flight - he is amazing horse and what a ride and the jockey was so considerate, humble and fantastic

Best horse in the country!

This horse has Secretariats blood running through his veins! He’s going to show us just how well those genes have passed and survived. Can not wait to see how well he lives up to his great, great, great, great grandparents genes.

Here's hoping his jockey will not only be humble but eating humble pie after the Classic. His "genes' by the way, are no better than others in the field. Some have Secretariat in their ancestry not once but twice or three times.

No need to use the whip on Flightline.

My god that horse I saw just now has a special gift. To be compared to secretariant... 😳

Prat is the Greatest Jockey in the World. Flightline is Magnificent.

In the conversation for the greatest ever,

I can see why he's the favorite! What an amazing horse!

Flightline has won all 4 of his races, the first by 13, the 2nd by 12, the 3rd by 11, and now this one by 6, despite breaking a step slow and checking briefly soon after!

These horses only have so many races in their bodies

@question_it_701

Жыл бұрын

It's not that their bodies run out of races. Not when they are retired after 12 races ....give or take. Look at the "average" horses---they have20, 30, 40, 50 races and race til age 6 or 7. Horses used to be bred to race. Now they are raced to be bred. Digest that for a minute. It's sad. As soon as an owner realizes he has a great racehorse, they retire them. Folks say "Well you can't blame them". I can. So why are you retiring them? To make more money than you can racing. I get that. LOL. But they retire them to do what? Produce more "race" horses. But, horses aren't really raced anymore. Not the good ones. So fans (the ones that provide 100% of the money to fund breeding and racing), are left to get to only watch average horses race. (Remember, the great one are retired as soon as they are deemed "great"). Its a crappy situation. I wish it could be like the 70s and 80s. Justify was retired after like 6 races. LOL. Whats next? A horses 1st 3 races are the TC series, and if he does great, he's retired after 3 races? I have a lot of respect for California Chrome's and American Pharoah's owners. Chrome raced through 4 year old season. AP's owners (Zayed?) gave his fans 3 more races after the TC when almost ALL owners would retire them after a TC win.

The Flightline bandwagon is getting pretty full. He has never been tested by really good horses and has had to have long, long layoffs between every race. This time he's getting two months which is short for him. Remember what happened to Smarty Jones in the Belmont? He was double teamed and it cost him the race and the Triple Crown. Flightline deserves that same treatment in order to prove himself or not. He has won half as many races as others in the BCC field and does not know what being in a buzz saw is like. Here's hoping he finds out.
