ARCADIA, Calif. – The journal is full again, with notes and opinions from Santa Anita to Golden Gate to Fair Grounds and back home to Santa Anita.

Flightline’s return uncertain

Flightline’s setback – a strained hock – is not common. Therefore, trainer John Sadler will not speculate when Flightline might return to training.

“It’s not an everyday occurrence,” Sadler said. “It’s nothing bad, but it’s a little unusual. It might be a week; it might be two weeks. It’s nothing big. Will he make the Met Mile? We don’t have an answer.”

Equal Measure (#2) comes in off a competitive speed figure, which was earned finishing second at the $32k level last time. She was no match for the impressive winner Customerexperience that day, but it was a good sign that she ran so well in the return to dirt. The problem is that she was riding the gold rail for part of that trip, which may have enhanced her performance. I want to see it again.
