bit of an outlier
Flightline is going to cut into the interest of the odd Daily Double that skips a race, unless you think he's beatable.
$1M purchase price, three starts, three double digit length wins, $260K in earnings (seems low for a G1 winner), and if he wins the Met Mile he'll still be underwater for the owners with 16+ months of training fees on top of the hay and oats he burned prior to going into training.
On the other hand, he obviously can recoup more cash and become profitable at stud, assuming he doesn't suffer from "Cigar" syndrome.
Another possibility is that his connections keep him in training for several more years, and he stays on top of his game and brings down big wins every four to six months. Which means his next stop is on Breeder's Cup day.
He's an odd outlier, but I wish him the best. I can't think of a horse to compare him to, in terms of his career so far. 4YO debut in the Met Mile?
