Margaux Freshening & Training Grad FLIGHTLINE closed his 3 YO campaign with a dazzling performance in the G1 Malibu S., going 7F on the dirt at Santa Anita December 26.
The $1,000,000 son of TAPIT made his first career start in April, demolishing a MSW field by 13 1/4 lengths. He followed that up with a 12 3/4-length Allowance score in September as he headed into his first Graded Stakes contest. In the same front-running fashion as his previous races, FLIGHTLINE broke sharply and freakishly pulled away in the stretch to an 11 1/2-length victory in 1:21.37. He earned a 118 Beyer Speed Figure for this performance, the highest of any horse in 2021.
Owned by the partnership of Hronis Racing LLC, Siena Farm LLC, Summer Wind Equine LLC, West Point Thoroughbreds and Woodford Racing LLC and trained by John Sadler, the colt is now 3-for-3 with earnings of $259,800.
