Wonder horse Flightline has been retired to stud after his devastating victory in the Breeders’ Cup Classic at Keeneland on Saturday night.
Sent off the 4-9 favourite to win the $6million finale to the two-day fixture, the John Sadler-trained four-year-old and Flavien Pratt surged clear in the straight to beat Olympiad by eight and a quarter lengths.
The triumph took the unbeaten Flightline’s aggregate winning margin in his six career outings to 71 lengths, but yesterday it was confirmed the son of Tapit will join the stallion roster at Lane’s End Farm in Kentucky.
