Flightline, unbeaten in four starts, had his 2022 debut in the $1 million Met Mile, winning by six lengths. He won three times last year, each time by at least 11 1/2 lengths. The season was highlighted by a win in the Grade 1 Malibu Stakes for 3-year-olds at seven furlongs at Santa Anita in December.

With the win in the Met Mile, Flightline earned a fees-paid berth to the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile at Keeneland on Nov. 5.

No interim race plans for Flightline have been finalized.

Flightline has earned $794,800 from his four wins. He is owned by Hronis Racing, West Point Thoroughbreds, Siena Farm, Summer Wind Equine and Woodford Racing.
