Flightline, the horse everyone's talking about, put in his first work at Del Mar Saturday morning, going five furlongs in :59.40 handily. It was the fifth-best move out of 80 timed at the distance.
Trainer John Sadler termed it a “maintenance work.”
“Very pleased.” Sadler said of Flightline, who is unbeaten in four career starts, including the Hill 'n' Dale Metropolitan Handicap (G1) June 11 and the 2021 Runhappy Malibu Stakes (G1)..“He worked very nicely, nice and relaxed. We're right on schedule so all is good.”
Sadler plans to run the Tapit colt in the TVG Pacific Classic (G1) at Del Mar September 3.
“He took a liking for this track last year when he won down here,” Sadler said. “So, he likes the track.”
Flightline won an entry level allowance race at Del Mar last summer by 12 ½ lengths. He is campaigned by Hronis Racing, Siena Farm, breeder Summer Wind Equine, West Point Thoroughbreds, and Woodford Racing.
