I will have to be in the minority on this one. Some have compared Flightline to Secretariat and I agree. I agree they are two very overrated horses. Sure they have both ran outstanding numbers. They also have/had very little if any competition to run against. Also let’s take into consideration very small field sizes. Get into trouble or have a bad start with 10-12 entries in a race it changes the complexion rather quickly....not so much in a small 6 horse field where recovery is much easier. I will never be impressed with these small field win super horses. Clearly these horses were born at a good time with no competition to run with.
BTW . Someone mentioned not being able to make any money with Flightline. Well next time use the horse as a free square in the pick 4 and 5. I did and made some better then decent money.
