Breeders’ Cup Classic
Undefeated in five races, Flightline remains the prohibitive favorite to continue his winning ways in the 1 1/4 mile Classic for owners Hronis Racing LLC, et al, and trainer John Sadler. The 4 years old son of Tapit by the Indian Charlie mare Feathered got a late start to his career winning his first out start going six furlongs in a MSW at Santa Anita in April of 2021. He’ll face off against the best horses from the 2021 and 2022 Triple Crown trails, including Rich Strike, winner of the 2022 Kentucky Derby. Closest to him in early wagering at Bovada, Epicenter is currently listed at 5-to-1 for trainer Steve Asmussen.
