A fractional share in the undefeated Breeders' Cup Classic contender Flightline will be offered on Monday, Nov. 7 at the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale.
Flightline has earned nearly $1.4 million and is being pointed for the $6-million Breeders' Cup Classic Nov. 5 at Keeneland in Lexington, Ky. He will enter stud as the property of a syndicate at Lane's End Farm in Versailles, Ky., upon the conclusion of his racing career.
On Monday, Nov. 7 at the start of the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale, a 2.5 percent fractional interest in Flightline will be auctioned, subject to Keeneland's Conditions of Sale.
Interested bidders must register in advance, have established credit with Keeneland Sales, and meet such additional requirements as Keeneland or Lane's End may request. Qualified bidders may bid on the fractional interest in-person at Keeneland, via Keeneland's online auction platform, or by phone.
The fractional interest is offered by West Point Thoroughbreds, one of five ownership groups in Flightline. It is expected to be the only opportunity to buy into Flightline before he retires to stud. Should Flightline continue to race beyond the Breeders' Cup, the purchaser of the fractional interest will also be a part of his racing ownership.
At the conclusion of the auction, the winning bidder will own 2.5 percent of Flightline and have all rights, benefits, and obligations of a co-owner of the horse pursuant to the Syndicate Agreement. All racing and breeding decisions will be made as provided in the Syndicate Agreement available for inspection by qualified bidders.
It will be decided after the Breeders' Cup whether Flightline races next year at age five or retires to stud.
“Flightline's stud fee has yet to be determined,” said Bill Farish of Lane's End, “but he will surely retire as one of the most valuable Thoroughbred stallion prospects in recent memory. He'll be an historic addition to the Lane's End roster and the syndicate model is an exciting way for more people to participate in a sport that otherwise has a high barrier to entry.”
