The first foal publicly reported for unbeaten Horse of the Year Flightline is a filly out of Grade 1 winner Juju’s Map. Breeder Albaugh Family Stables reported the arrival Saturday morning on social media, saying the filly had arrived overnight. No other arrivals from the highly-anticipated first crop of Flightline have yet been shared by farms, including Lane’s End, where Flightline stands in Kentucky. “We are so excited, and we are happy to say that Juju and her baby are doing great!” the Albaugh stable posted on X, adding that the filly is “gorgeous.” Juju’s Map, by Liam’s Map, won the Grade 1 Alcibiades Stakes in the fall of 2021 at Keeneland, then was second in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Del Mar. She placed in three graded stakes the following year. She was retained by the Albaughs as a broodmare prospect after she was a $1.9 million buyback at the 2022 Keeneland November breeding stock sale. :: Bet the races with a $200 First Deposit Match + FREE All Access PPs!

Flightline, a son of Tapit, swept three Grade 1 races in his championship season in 2022, dominating the Metropolitan Handicap by six lengths with a 112 Beyer Speed Figure; the Pacific Classic by 19 1/4 lengths with a 126; and the Breeders’ Cup Classic by 8 1/4 lengths with a 121 to conclude his career unbeaten in six starts. He arrived at Lane’s End – where the roster includes the Albaughs’ Breeders’ Cup winner Liam’s Map – a few days later, and stood for an advertised fee of $200,000 in his first season, the highest introductory fee in North America since Triple Crown winner American Pharoah debuted at the same price in 2016. Juju’s Map was one of several Grade 1 winners and/or producers in Flightline’s stellar first book. Other mares he covered in his first season included Littleprincessemma, dam of multiple Grade 1 winners including Triple Crown winner American Pharoah; the dams of Eclipse Award champions Arrogate, Caledonia Road, Essential Quality, Forte, Improbable, Swiss Skydiver, and Unique Bella; the dams of Grade 1 winners Cave Rock, Constellation, Gift Box, Gina Romantica, New Year’s Day, Pauline’s Pearl, Say the Word, and Search Results; Eclipse champion Shamrock Rose; Canadian champion Curlin’s Voyage; Argentinian champion Blue Stripe; Breeders’ Cup Distaff winner Unrivaled Belle, Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint winner Bar of Gold, and Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint winner Belvoir Bay; and Grade 1 winners Centre Court, Come Dancing, Crown Queen, Dalika, Harmonize, Hot Dixie Chick, Kalypso, Noted and Quoted, Obligatory, Paulassilverlining, Separationofpowers, and Tara’s Tango. There has been huge demand for mares carrying foals from this incoming first crop. Last year, 13 mares in foal to Flightline sold at public auction for an average of $1,074,231. Curlin’s Voyage, the only mare in foal to Flightline at this week’s Keeneland January horses of all ages sale, sold for $1 million. Flightline is preparing to stand his upcoming second season for a fee of $150,000, a typical second-year adjustment. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
