Undefeated Flightline, the world's top-rated racehorse, arrived at Keeneland from California Sunday to continue his preparations for the $6-million Longines Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) Nov. 5 at the Lexington track.
Trainer John Sadler said the 4-year-old Tapit colt, the Classic's presumptive favorite, will breeze next Saturday at Keeneland, depending on the weather.
“It would be a lesser work, five (furlongs) in a minute is usually what he does. …Just kinda cruise around there,” O'Neill said Saturday after the colt breezed six furlongs in 1:11.80 Saturday at Santa Anita.
Flightline is owned by a partnership that includes Hronis Racing LLC, Siena Farm LLC, breeder Summer Wind Equine LLC, West Point Thoroughbreds, and Woodford Racing LLC. He has won all five career starts a combined 62 ¾ lengths, igniting comparisons to some of racing's all-time greats while amassing earnings of $1,394,800.
In his most recent start, Flightline won the Pacific Classic (G1) by 19 ¼ lengths Sept. 3 at Del Mar.
