- This video shows all of the champion USA racehorse Flightline's six career runs with jockey Flavien Prat. Including his debut race at Santa Anita, the Del Mar allowance optional Claiming race, the RUNHAPPY Malibu stakes, the Belmont Metropolitan mile, the Pacific Classic stakes and the Keeneland Breeders Cup Classic. Featuring Country Grammer, Epicenter and Life Is Good.
John Sadler’s four-year-old colt showed he was fully deserving of his reputation as one of the best race horses to ever grace the dirt with a striking victory in Kentucky.
The thoroughbred son of Tapit will now stand at Lane's End Farm, Kentucky (USA) for a cover fee of $200,000.

Flightline is a good handicap horse. Looking at the races and prices, he had a race.
6 races, would you pay his stallion rate. Would he of trained on?
Owners were right to retire him and take the money.
Look at Frankel, a proven champion and now breeding the next generation.
I agree they definitely know what they are doing. His cover fee of $200k with a book of 150 mares ensures a profit of a cool $30m a year. How much chance is there of you earning that in a season racing? Although, I also have a feeling that he may have had a few setbacks along the way which is why he didn't appear many times and that may have had an influence on why they chose to retire him. To me Frankel is the greatest horse we've seen in history I think he would've won the derby and arc if they had gone for them.
@@racingcentral5054 Thanks for your reply.
I agree with you but for those fees we don't know enough about him to take that chance.
Frankel won 9 group 1s on different goings and proved himself training on.
I think that the owners of Flightline took the money option because there were to many ??? about him.
Into Mischief is going to annihilate the crap out of Flightline. He breaks his record each year and it THE MOST DESIRED STALLION. 6 races doesn't make your crop worth 200 grand. His value will drop drastically. And fast. Mark my world's. The kings (top stallions) will put him in line in the shed. Flightlines bloodline could be crap. He's not worth 180 million. Nor 200 grand. They will lose money. And they will learn not to over price a colt that ran 6 months pretty much. Justify American Pharaoh Tapit and Into Mischief are the undisputed kings. AND INTO MISCHIEF IS A SIRE OF SIRES. HIS SONS HAVE JOINED HIM IN THE SHED. Again. Flightline ISNT S**T. You EARN your authority in the shed. It's not given to you for 6 races. I'm sure SPENDTHRIFT (where authentic, goldcents, and into mischief) stand as stallions. I own shares in authentic.
@@racingcentral5054 well I'm pretty sure he'll have a hard time filling 150 mares at 200k a shot because these money people did t get UT by giving it away 200k for an unproven stud I don't see it because there better proven stallions that you can get a lot cheaper and face it the breeding shed is a whole new game they have to prove themselves at and like I said the people that are in that part of the game don't usually spend that kind of money on unproven they may but after 3 or 4 years if he ain't producing very good looking and very good running offspring his stud fee will drop to 10k. Green monkey they o aid 16 million for him and I think his stud fee is 7500 dollars so you are in a whole new game. And face it there's been many good runners that can't spit out one good race horse literally spit out duds. Lol
@@MikeSmith-cn6ub True, there is no guarantee with him producing results at stud. I think they've said they are restricting him to a book of 150 so they can cover the best mares to give him a better chance of reproducing better quality stock. The owners said to the reporters they 'could have sold him out in a day' but then again that could just be clever marketing to try and draw people in.
What a horse this is, he’s ceiling of greatness was never challenged he retired as an improving horse, he’s one of the greatest in history of the sport.
dang Flightline never felt the whip that’s crazy he doesn’t even know what it feels to be whipped like lol BEAST
Y'all dang diggity right
Whipped in training... he's only showing him the whip now. This is who I wanted in the KD
This horse was never challenged. We can only imagine the depth of his talent. I see why they retired him, but feeling a little sad. It was exciting every time he ran. The sport needed him!
I feel the same way . I totally understand the business and why they retired the horse . Still don’t like that today al great horse retire way too soon. Once they win those big races they out. We don’t get to see them anymore.
Would be nice to see few Kentucky, breeders cup etc winners competing against each other few years later in a race for example 4-6yr old horses
Never challenged cuz nobody wanted to challenge him. He scared everyone away
I hear you, but, on one hand the sport needs him, but on the other hand the sport doesn't deserve him. The handicap division is decimated, there's nobody to run against him. A race with 'Charge It' might have been mildly interesting but now we know how that would have gone
@@hypersphere mildly interesting for 1/2 mile or so. And I like Charge It! Remember when people were saying Flightline wouldn't make 1 1/4 miles. Omg were they wrong! At 1 1/2 miles he might have had the same finish as Secretariat at 30 lengths! We'll never know. . .but we have a pretty good idea!
This Horse never got hit by the Jockey, I can’t imagine what happens if 😂 🥵
There will never be another horse in our lifetimes as good as this one. Absolute FREAK.
I've been following racing since 1970 and he is hands down the most spectacular racehorse I have ever seen
FLIGHTLINE WAS great but he only raced 6 times in 18 months. Secretariat raced that many times in less then 6 months. FLIGHTLINE can't be compared to Secretariat for that reason alone.
@TimesUp or Frankel 🔥 cause he's the best horse to ever do it and now he's produced the next generation. Actually the 🐐
Frankel was the greatest and rightly has a higher rating than either of them but I love watching old videos of Secretariat he was a brilliant horse.
@@lee7701 Secretariat is the greatest horse. He has records no horse has broken for 50 years.
@@TimesUp777 Great horse no doubt and probably top 3 of all time but I don’t think any horse could have beat Frankel at any distance from 6 to 10 furlongs. Black Caviar is up there too a wonderful sprinter.
Look at the distance of his wins! Truly amazing! Salute!
And Never once whipped!! A true Talent!!
Iam a big fan of horse racing ,living 5 blocks from a track,worked as a hotwalker for years worked for hall of fame trainers,it gets in your blood and never leaves ,Flightline is a monster on 4 legs,chills i get watching replays ,hand ridden home never pushed for a track record ,gona miss this colt and i never bought a $45 t.shirt of a horse till FLIGHTLINE
Flightline is a wonder to watch! He is the definition of power
Truly amazing. Rare to see a horse that doesn't get tired out, just goes faster through the entire race no matter the distance. Just a loss for words. Incredible!
Leaves me breathless and goosebumps to watch this amazing horse
All of his runs are amazing. But I cried and still cry every time I watch his breederscup win. Every time I watch it I picture secretariats Belmont run and it just gives me chills
Flightline didn't equal no records, Secretariat is king of distance and sprints too.
@@user-de3qq1tz2vI agree but I don’t think anyone saw the full capabilities of Flightline like did with Secretariat, they rarely allow that to happen anymore.
I saw Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Affirmed, Spectacular Bid, Zenyatta Amer. Pharaoh etc. All great!! True Flightline only raced 6 time, but with such grace & dominance that indicates he is as Secretariat was described A WELL OILED MACHINE! We'll never know who was better, but being in the discussion is tribute enough!
Just for your information if you didn't know... Amer (the grey one) is registered as a pure bred Arabian Stallion. He won a lot with speeds that left all other Arabians in the dust. He was unfortunately used numerous times as a breeding Stallion. Very much wanted of course. But he destroyed the purebred lines of Arabians because later, the doubts that he wasn't a pure bred Arabian were proven due to DNA tests. He carried XX alleles. Going way back to the XX stallion Whalebone.
I think he is top 20 all time.... let's not compare to secretariat... didn't produce enough for that comparison
If you look into his pedigree, he is double bread through Secretariat and coming down through Seatle Slew. Racing fast is in his bloodline. This horse and his pedigree are worth more as a stud than as a racehorse.
私は日本人でアメリカの競馬に興味を持ったのがAmerican Pharaohからという初心者ですが、この先50年語り継げそうな物語を見れていることに感謝してます😊
American Pharaoh、JustifyそしてFlightline、この伝説たちを見れて幸せ者です😂
I watched this 7 to 10 times.i wish he was not retired for another year .in his prime
looks like equinox will be the same 😢
What a beauty!!! Can’t get enough of Flightline! Shame we won’t see him race again 😢
Flightline is a superstar for 2022.noone can top him.
Wow. As a guy who knows nothing about horses and horse racing. I am truly blown away at how amazing these animals are. They are made by the heavens to run and by God did that horse run like it was his last.
Make no mistake this is one of the best you will ever see
You need to study a little more. Won’t make the hall of fame. 6 starts never carried 130 or more and who did he beat? 6 starts won’t get them hall of fame. By the way I have seen at least 10 that were better and that’s not even getting back to the 70’s. You got a lot to learn about what it takes to be one of the greats. Should be a very nice sire but no Northern Dancer or Bold Ruler which is where he descends from.
@@jerryraper9386 Guaranteed Hall of Fame for Flightline!Name the last horse to run that carried 130 lbs?
@@jerryraper9386 when was the last time a horse running in the USA carried 130 lbs. or more. You are outdated!
He doesn’t even have to ask him to do it. Look at the other jockeys beating their horses.
Yep, getting Secretariat/Sham vibes where Turcotte basically never asked Big Red to run while Sham was getting beat half to death to try and keep up. Poor Sham, a TC horse in most other years.
HE IS A CHAMPION RUNNER......NO DOUBT.........!!!
Look how he crippled of field of G1 winners ! Amazing 👏 ❤
I won’t compare any horse to others that came before him/her. Those horses in history have proven themselves as the best of the best during their careers.
I’m in awe watching his powerful BC Classic stretch stride after being caught in a speed dual with ridiculous fractions! It’s also amazing that he was the greatest horse by far at ANY distance!
Frankel would've murdered this over a mile on turf.
I couldn’t hold my tears💔.
Sensational
because a horse ran fast?
I (literally) watch horse racing every day. Flightline is a generational talent like Babe Ruth or Michael Jordan. I've never seen a horse that loved to run more. While being a stud is a pretty good gig, I believe that this horse would be happier on the track. So sad we got to see him do him this thing only six times. He's a legend.
Great comment.
That pacific classic brings goddamn chills, his best race without a doubt the amount of time before another horse crossed the wire after him was insane.
Every once in a while, life graces us with a beautiful animal who brings us all together, away from hurt, away from politics, away from our despair. Life gives us hope through creation.
Thank you Lifeline to give us Life, Hope, and endless possibilities. What a beautiful creation.
Run Lifelne just Run !!!
Look at the distance of wins.
Amazing.
"FLIGHTLINE"
Was Something Else!
Super *Special.
No Worse Than The 2nd Best Race Horse That, I've Seen In My Life.
I Saw "SECRETARIAT" Win The Triple Crown & Also His Last Victory In His Final Race...The Canadian International. It Is Difficult To Rate Any Horse Above Him.
Thank You
When you are born a champion, nothing can stand in your way
Literally a freak of nature!
Beautiful stride!
What a great horse! Love this video!
Once in a lifetime you get to see a horse this good maybe the best ever would have liked to see him run 1 more yr
Wonderful racehorse ..... moves like a tremendous machine!
Can't wait to watch his Jr's race!!!
10kg heart beating in this horse make no mistake! Is he the best ever….not sure but it’s different times and owners dont race them to death like the old days! The ways he won his races though makes a great argument for him to be in the mix for one of the best ever regardless of how many races he’s had!
Flightline is a Definite Brilliant front runner reminds me of Alleged ...2.times winner of d.Arc de Triomphe in 77' & 78 ridden by the legend L Piggott....
chills every time
Thank you for the video, Goose-bumps!
Glad you enjoyed it, he really is a horse of a lifetime!
I LOVE THAT HORSE
Flightline is so good but we could never see his true potential because he was never challenged down the stretch. I believe he can beat any great racehorse in history on any given day except for Secretariat's Belmont miracle run.
That's been my belief.
I beg to differ with you but I’ll take Dr. Fager against him at a mile . He owns the world record for the mile in 1:32 and a 1/5 under 134 lbs . Put the weight on them and will see who’s who . Horses like Round Table , KELSO , Forego , and Dr. Fager carried high weight most of their career , anywhere from 130 to 138 lbs.
@@robertlosasso4222I completely agree about Kelso, & another 1 of my favorites & 1 of the absolute greatest ever (who I rarely ever see mentioned or talked about) Count Fleet who won the Triple Crown & Belmont by 25 lengths in 1943 after winning the Preakness 4 days after the Kentucky Derby & winning the Withers between the Preakness & Belmont (he was also injured before the Derby & injured in the Belmont while winning by those 25 lengths) ~ & i will always love the very 1st Big Red Man o' War & also just a few more mentions of my many many favorites with Seattle Slew, Citation, Seabiscuit, Spectacular Bid, Cigar & Zenyatta & Ruffian & American Pharoah.
@@robertlosasso4222 Actually Life is Good might have had a decent chance against Flightline at a mile
@@robertlosasso4222 Well if they both ran in the same year maybe Flightline beats Dr. Fager 1 time, Dr. Fager wins 1 time, and Dr. Fager wins another 2 races while Flightline is out injured
Last race is same Seabiscuit vs War admiral, on corner Seabiscuit saw his enemy face to face one moment than time to say goodbye, same ;)
Seeing Flightline run, i feel like he had the potential to be a triple crown winner
most definitely
Why didn’t he run in the Classics?
@@davidsheridan5286 from what i heard he sustained an injury before he started racing resulting in him missing his 3yo career and only raced as a 4yo
But then again i could be wrong
@@HarbingerLea Flightline ran three time at age 3 . He broke his maiden 1 week prior to the 2021 Kentucky Derby. He was talented enough to be a Triple Crown winner. He gave, by the end of his career, every indication of being better than Essential Quality, the 2021 3-year-old champion. Essential Quality -- winner in 2021 of the Southwest, Blue Grass, Jim Dandy, Belmont -- appeared to be the best son of Tapit up to that point. That impression was false.
Whether Flightline was durable enough to be a Triple Crown winner is a *very* different question. He got hurt at 2, 3 and 4, enough to keep him out for months at a time.
He would have broken down in the Preakness
If he could run more often the owners would have run him
Este Caballo es una maquina perfecta
Amazing horse
Possibly the best horse I have ever seen. Destroyed every horse, even graded stakes winners.
Just amazing
My favorite horse ❤️
What a horse fantastic
Getting caught in a pace duel like that and being classy enough to stay on and win was impressive. Jockey done about everything to sabotage that flawless record
I been watching horse racing a long time Flight line is some freak of nature....
Good Comment! I agree. I just did a new video on this and go into great detail about Flightline. He is probably the best dirt horse since Spectacular Bid last ran in 1980. The Bid was an absolute Monster!!
Amazing 🤩🌈
And there you have it. A brilliant run by probably the best horse on dirt since Spectacular Bid!!! Never touched by the whip in any of his 6 races. WOW!!
I have him at #1 of the 21st century in my latest video.....
Only a fool fails to understand how great Flightline is. Those horses he destroyed were Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Belmont, and BC contenders, and winners. I've only saw Greatness like that 1 other time in 52 years of watching horse racing, and if you don't know who the other 1 is it's Secretariat.
Secretariat isn't at the same greatness. Flightline is much better, so are many other horses...
Secretariat is only so famous because his miraculous TC wins. For the rest, he was just a normal racehorse. Maybe a little better than average but still not the best...
@@MoniekRedhead I'll not say Flightline is Secretariat's equal because of him not being healthy enough to run the TC hell gauntlet that Big Red set 3 still standing race and track records in. Flightline might even be a faster horse at 4yrs old than Secretariat was but Flightline didn't have a horse close enough to his level to match his stamina in any of his wins. Flightline is not to blame for his other worldly runs vs the best horses the world had the courage to throw at him. Unfortunately and unfairly he is judged because he was injured and couldn't run the TC. I know Race Horses. I'm not sure which would win and I don't really care. They are both once in a lifetime horses. The autopsy of Secretariat revealed his heart was twice the size of a normal horse and both lungs were larger as well. Do not disrespect that horse or what he accomplished.
@@chettwettman6892 I don't disrespect secretariat but he's so overrated by all his fans (who can't see that he's NOT the best horse ever and he will never be...) that I almost start to hate him. He IS the best TC winner ever and that makes him a great horse but not the best ever... Sorry...
Also it's not only the TC races that can make a horse famous. There are more countries outside the US with great horses and great important races. But all secretariat fans have tunnel vision thinking that only the TC counts. They also compare every great horse with secretariat while there are so many better horses than him... Therefore I almost hate him...
Btw, the name Big Red was given to MOW first.
@@MoniekRedhead Typical over seas hater. Please list the great series of races that rest of the world has that is remotely as difficult as the TC ? 3 races in a little over 4 weeks at age 3. There is no equal anywhere. Many horses have been called big red, but when you use that term, The World knows what horse you mean and it's The Great, The Immortal Secretariat.
@@chettwettman6892 give me 1 reason why I should do your homework? If I can look into US horses, races and history, why can't you do the same for outside the US?
Just another example of a huge fan of a very overrated horse. Looks like you're wearing blinkers yourself.
I'll give you some examples of other great important races. Dubai, Prix de l'arc de triomphe, TC UK, Melbourne Cup etcetera....
All the comments “only ran 6 times 3 times this year blah blah how does that make him the best ever?” Come on. Fans of this horse aren’t saying “Flightline the goat look how long he raced” 🤦♂️ his career was extremely brief probably the shortest of any champion I’ve ever seen but what he did in that brief career (which is no fault of the horse either) Flightline couldn’t do anymore. His value at stud could only possibly go down as his career went on. A freakish talent that yeah I wish we would get to see more but if this was your horse you’d be retiring him to stud 100%. What a freak of a horse
Horses are now raced to be bred. Not bred to be raced. Sad. Once a horse is "deemed" great, they are retired. So then we are left with "best of the average" horses to watch race. Lets think about it. What pays the trainers? The owners? The Jockeys? The fans do. The ones that pay to bet. The ones that pay to see the horses run. Yet... the good horses are taken away from the fans. The entire system is backwards. That's why the "fan base" is mainly bettors. Because we don't get to "know" horses. Or "know" rivalries. They don't get a chance to develop because, example great horses from 2018 very very seldom get to race horses from 2019 or 2020, etc. By the time a horse gets to be "known", it is retired. It stinks. I'd love to see Flightline vs Derby, Preakness or Belmont or Pegasus or the next year's Breeders Cup Classic winer. How about if Pharoah would have to race vs Justified? TC winner vs TC winner. The chance was there. It would have been the ONLY time EVER in history, as far as I know for there even to have been a chance. Well. I guess maybe Affirmed and Seattle Slew might have raced? But anyway...we don't get "Great" vs "Great" anymore. :(
@@question_it_701 I agree. I would much rather this horse race on more 100% (even if I say if he were mine I would retire to stud) I can totally understand them retiring him. He is too valuable so I get it - I’m just saying all these fools “he only raced 6 times he is no champion” he put in a couple of performances that only a handful of horses in history have been able to match. This horse was a champion - the scary thing is he only needed a handful of starts to make that clear
@@question_it_701 Affirmed and Seattle Slew did meet, in the 1978 Jockey Club Gold Cup, 1 1/2 miles on the Belmont Park track. Neither won. The two Triple Crown winners engaged in an intense speed duel for roughly the first half of the race; the 6 furlong fraction was 2/5 of a second faster than Secretariat's Belmont. Affirmed either wore out, or (some say) his saddle slipped. In any case, the JCGC was the only out of the money finish of Affirmed's career. Seattle Slew then got engaged in an intense stretch duel by Exceller, a powerful deep closer and a Hall of Famer. Slew lost by a gallant head, in a gutsy performance many view as his best race. The race is one of the greatest I have seen. It is available on CZcams.
Some sad trivia: Exceller (33:15-5-6) who raced several years in Europe, is often cited as second only to Alydar as the best North American raced horse never to win a national championship. He met an especially tragic end. Unsuccessful at stud in Kentucky, Exceller was sent to stand in Sweden, where in 1997 he went to slaughter at age 22. His fate and the similar fate of 1986 Kentucky Derby winner/1987 champion older male and Horse of the Year Ferdinand (29:8-9-6), who went to slaughter in Japan in 2002, were justifiably viewed by the public as a shameful scandal, and prompted a major escalation of rescue efforts for off the track TBs which continues to this day.
Twice previously Triple Crown winners' track careers had overlapped chronologically, but they did not race each other.
Assault won the TC in 1946, and remained active until 1950, when he was age 7. Citation won the TC in 1948, and raced in 1950 at age 5. (He sat out his 4-yr-old year due to injury.) So theoretically, he and Assault could have raced. But Assault remained compromised after an injury in his 1947 match race with handicap star Armed.
1941 TC winner Whirlaway was still active when Count Fleet won the Triple Crown in 1943, but Whirlaway only raced twice that year and Count Fleet was retired after injury in the Belmont, so the chances of them meeting would have been pretty much nil.
There have been some pretty recent matchups of Hall of Fame-bound horses. Beholder and Songbird, a magnificent race.
Arrogate faced California Chrome, also a terrific matchup. He also faced Gun Runner, who will presumably make the Hall of Fame.
On what he actually achieved in the 6 races he maybe top 10 all tine
@@andrewwilliams4283 he was a freak. An absolute freak. Look at Arrogate - I’m sure the owners (with hindsight) would have retired him after his last win. He couldn’t improve his stud value - it could only go down. Same with Flightline. As a race fan I don’t like it - I wanna see these horses race as long as possible - but Flightline couldn’t do anything to improve his stud value. It could only go down if something went wrong. His last 2 starts were performances that only a handful of horses could ever have done. If I owned him - I would have retired him too
This story, that of a supernatural horse, demonstrates also why the sport is not about the fans, but about the owners.
Likely the best horse since Secretariat, and unlike Big Red never had an off race. Unfortunately for the racing public he only performed six times. Not sure if he needed extra time to recover from his races, but we were robbed of the chance to see him dazzle as a five year old.
I understand that compared to the risk of an injury and the possible lost breeding money the rewards of racing him for another year are miniscule. However, imagine how much anticipation there would be for every one of his races.
@Steven Cooke. You have to remember that Secretariat was raced 21 times and he started out as an immature 2 year old. FL started out at 3 years old and he never lost but racing 6 times in 18 months isnt very much. It would have been great to see FL race in the TC and Secretariat as a 4 year old.
It’s the owners who take the real gamble of it all. As a fan you place a wager on him and that is it. Either you win or lose. As an owner, it can be a nightmare . They risk so much more than a $2.00 to win bet. And how many turn out to be like Flightline? It was a horse of a lifetime to them. It seems that fans weren’t satisfied with his 6 for 6 wins . Why? Because they didn’t know of him until he won the PCC. I followed him from his second win. Seen him win his first race and it was the track announcers stretch call that brought me closer to him. And was never disappointed winning every race. Didn’t pay much , but I had to bet more to get more . And when his odds were 3-1 in early August for him to win the BCC. I put $2,000.00 for him to do what he was effortlessly doing. Never have I bet an early wager like that. Especially so much! And when he won the PCC. I knew that he would do what I gambled for him to do. All in all I made a little over $9,120.00 on him. And to be honest I’m so glad they retired him. For as we all know that 100 things can go bad in horse racing. 🤑
@@TimesUp777 Secretariat went 16/21. Your first bet on him on his maiden loss would mean you are already in the hole. No excuses. Then you win @ 10 or 12 in a row. You continue to bet him and you lose, win, lose ,win ,win , lose, win. How much are you ahead on winning? Remember that you lost 5 times. And betting the favorite every time. Unlike a horses like Zennayta , Flightline or Justify. 💵💰💵💰💵💰💵💰In which many to this day, say Secretariat was the best or all the others that say that Flightline or Justify are nothing. Some people just don’t understand. The losers were better then the winners so they say.💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸
@@6cobrasnake9 I am not even going to read your bullshit again dude. You are a troll to say the least Secretariat is the GOAT and you know it. FL was great for a moment but raced 6 times in 18 months, big deal!!! If FL was raced as often and as much as Secretariat he would have fallen apart on the track and died. They knew he couldn't handle racing very much which is why he didn't race much. Secretariat was better at 3 years old then FL was at 4.
Landaluce was better than Secretariat.
Amazing
Secretariat is the greatest race horse off all time. Not taking anything away from flightline a magnificent horse, but to compare him to secretariat is insulting.
Greatest horse in my generation
El campeòn de la historia 🤗💪👍❤
🐎🐎🐎 flightline ❤️ of champion 🏆🏆🏆
ALL I CAN SAY IT'S "WOW"
I am aussie an I am in awe of this wonderful animal athlete I have seen some great horses over the years we had winx destroying her opposition but fightline is extraordinarily the best I watched I can see why the owners retired him I would of as the rest of the racing world watch him annihilate all comers but his legacy will live on withsome little flightliners in the coming years
I tend to agree with many here that Flightline cannot be called the Greatest because of a short racing career but from what he has shown he just might be the most talented thoroughbred in history so far 😮.
We need to see a match between his and Secretariat's generation... imagine what could show up a very strong and light horse
FLIGHTLINE IS THE BEST HORSE IN THE WORLD 🌎🌍🌎🌍🌎🌍🌎🌍 HE PROVE THAT WINNING EVERYTHING UNDEFEATED HORSES ARE THE REAL CHAMPIONS HE GOT TO PROVE NOTHING GOOD MOVE THEIR RETIRED HIM NOW HAPPY RETIREMENT FLIGHTLINE THE CHAMPION
Trevor would say flight line is just poetry in motion
He's another breed! Just floats around the track so effortlessly, it's a shame we don't get to see him next year.
@@racingcentral5054 I wish he could have raced in the TC. Most horses that don't run in the TC get forgotten about. It's sad to say but in a year or 2 FL will mostly be forgotten unless his babies are really good.
If you look up Flightlines pedigree, you will notice 2 major names that will stand out. Secretariat and Seattle Slew. Of course, we all know Bold Ruler is behind Secretariat. This horses' bloodlines are absolutely amazing. Some of his sires and dams are some of the biggest in the horse racing history. There is no doubt that his breeding price is going to be so high with so many names behind him. It also is not surprising the way he runs. Watch so old videos of some of his pedigree and you will see where Flightline gets it from. Comparing this horse to his great great great grandpa is and honor to Secretariat.
Ese corría de verdad tremendo campeon
Just wauw!
i love that you know who Kincsem is.....54 races and she won them all !!!
old TAPIT still siring superhorses ... damm
A Royalty Class thoroughbred comparable to Secretariat, Seattle Slew and Spectacular Bid.
You cant compare a horse that ran 6 times in 18 months (FLIGHTLINE) to a horse like Secretariat that raced 21 times in 16 months! Slew and Bid also raced way more then FL. FL won by so much because he was rested way more then the other horses. If Secretariat was raced at 4 years old like FL he would have every record imaginable.
@@TimesUp777 So let’s rest all the horses so they can all win. What a fool!
@@6cobrasnake9 you know as well as I do that FL was raced so little because they didn't think he could handle it. Very few horses only race 6 times in a 18 month time frame.
@@TimesUp777 All you’re if’s, would’ve, should’ve,could’ve & if’s again are not valid at all. Your, way more’s, time record’s and every horse that you have mentioned can’t prove anything ! You know why ? Because they are all dead stories that you as a nonsense talker mean nothing to the sport. It’s all crap that forms In your mind . The only thing that has broken a record, IS YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT NOTHING ! 🏆 Enjoy your trophy about your nonsense. And you also win the crown of fools. 👑 If you are not a gambler of this sport then you know Jack 💩.
@@6cobrasnake9 your comments are nothing but woulda coulda shoulda. Secretariat has the records pal and I dont need to make up excuses of any kind for him. You are the one that always says that FL was eased up in every race and use that excuse as to why he never set records. FL was a great horse, just not as great as Secretariat or many other horses. And dont use the excuse that horses dont race for a very long time anymore. There are many horses that still run at 5 years old and that run a lot of races. Atleast you are not arguing the fact that I said he didn't sell for 184 million. You were lying your ass off to many people when you said that and you said it in many comments. There is a huge difference in being valued at 184 and being sold at 184. Your comments are lame Eli Carr.
Look at the records of many of the "greats". It seems many have a single race (1) where the finished out of the money. Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Affirmed, Spectacular Bid all had 1 race where they finished out of the money. Same thing with Point Given, Ghostzapper and Afleet Alex.
Flightline so strong horse.. 💪🏿📢😍
It was all about the money in the end
Of the century.

People give Flightline and his owners a lot of shit for how they handled his career but I truly believe if he hadn't been so unsound he could've been one of the best horses of the decade. All his races and his jockey didn't raise a whip to him even once. It's about once in a blue moon when the planets align when you see a horse win so handily when only being hand-ridden. He had the makings of a triple crown winner, it's just a shame his health and soundness didn't agree with his talent(that he had in spades, you could just see it in the ease with which he ran. I don't think he was ever truly challenged on the track, even in the BCC).
I think he is the best horse of the decade personally
Wish we could have seen him 5 more races.
I hope they didn't retire him yet, there's two more premiere races The Pegasus in Gulfstream and the Dubai world cup.
Yeah I agree, I think they should have taken him overseas and gone for more valuable races but he's definitely retired to stud now so sadly we will never know what he could have achieved.
perfect horse number one after seecretarriot
I can just imagine Flightline hooking Secretariat at the Belmont.
Secretariat is still my favorite ever, but with a time machine you race these two, I don't see how Flightline loses. 1 1/4 at 1:59 coming through at a canter? Insane speed.
Good comment but I respectfully disagree. I just did a new video on this and go into great detail about Flightline. He is probably the best dirt horse since Spectacular Bid last ran in 1980. The Bid was an absolute Monster!!
Flightline's timed track times were not only very good but he did them without using the whip
I hadn't realized his second race was a claiming race. I'm sure the claiming price was a fraction of what he's worth. Considering how he looked breaking his maiden, I'm surprised someone didn't take a chance and claim him. Edit: I looked up the claiming price only to discover Flightline's second race was not a claiming race as the caption said, but an allowance.
If it was a claiming race , then it was an optional claiming race. Some are able to claim and some are not.
will be a letter N in chart means no claim on that particular horse
Dont forget Man o War aka Big RED. Flightline appears to be BiG Red reincarnated.
On Horse Racing Nation, his page has his second race listed as Alwoc which I take to mean Allowance/optional claiming.
He was not up to be claimed just how race was writing also you would have a better chance winning loto
This horse had three races in 2021 and 4 or 5 in 2022 how does that make him the best ever? Does anyone remember the Zenyatta I mean need I say more 19 in a row and a second by an inch. The best ever. Period TRUTH FACTS
Zenyatta had something special for sure , but if these 2 faced off flightline would win by 10
Zenyatta was a very good horse and was really consistent but she was exposed and Flightline would win on the bridle in my opinion if they raced, he is a class above her.
The real truth is that to see a filly wins 19 straight race coming from behind over various distance and losing her last race by a Jockey error nose,can't get any better and definately greatness on display. Zenyatta was incredible as a female horse of any decade and Only Secretariat,Cigar,Citation,Kelso can be consider greater as all male runners. Zenyatta simple cannot be compared and truly runs down any speed ahead of her over any distance up to 10 furlongs.
@@esmondrose5294 I love zenyatta so this hurts to say.... but she wouldn't get anywhere close to flightline on her best day
All these people here on CZcams, never saw 1/ 1,000,000 of All the races, I saw from 1965 to the present.
Flightline is a Alwcl ° for $80k compare to Secretariat. He beat " weak horses. Where's one track record.
Flightline would be 10 lengths in front at the Quarter Pole and Zenyaytta would beat him by 5 lengths at the end of any race.
He is The Greatest Horse ive ever watch.. I'd have him above Frankel too
It seems that Flightline is just doing an exercise run.
彼ならばドバイワールドカップも勝てたし、調教次第で凱旋門賞やジャパンカップも勝てただろう
世界一の馬であることに疑いはない

Best dirt horse since Secretariat
Good comment but I disagree. I just did a new video on this and go into great detail about Flightline. He is probably the best dirt horse since Spectacular Bid last ran in 1980. The Bid was an absolute Monster!!
Unbelievable most of the time it is never frustrated and never solicited by the jockey practically flightline and a horse of another category like varenne in the trot are horses that are born once every half century ❤
I could be wrong but Flightline was never asked to run in his first three victories.
Solo corio 6 veces. Y nunca corrio con más de 7 caballos sin enemigos. Es bueno es su tiempo de ahí a todo el show que an montado an exagerado mucho. Con este caballo.
What monster of horse he's just as if not better secretariat nobody ever got close to flightline he always daylights the field never needed a photo in his races
Rich strike ❤
ALLOWANCE OPTIONAL CLAIMING race is one thing, and CLAIMING is completely different type off race.
The Owners Of Life Is Good, Should Be Crying To Themselves, They Gave Away An Easy 3 Million In The Breeders Cup Dirt Mile To Go Finish With A Couple Thousand Dollars In A Race He Failed To Win At The Distance,,,,🏆🇯🇲 Mr. KeenObserVatioN 🇯🇲🏆
Fact: Flightline time for the breeders cup was faster than American Pharoah on the same track.
That's true. Flightline had a slightly better time by about two hundreds of a second. Would nearly be a tie. American Pharoah was an older 3 year old and Flightline was 4 when he raced the Classic. Both are modern day legends.
