Just might be the greatest thoroughbred that ever lived... but how could we ever know? I'm very sad that I didn't get to see more of this beautiful horse.
Never hit with a whip in any race. All 1 turn races were 44 half’s besides the one with a bad break and both 2 turn races were 45 half’s with plenty of gas in the tank
This horse proved himself. Who was he going to race? We all dream of having multipul super horses on the track at the same time. Fact is its rare and a horse dosnt need 30- 70 or even 10 starts to prove thereself. Apreciate what he gave us and God Bless the owners for not running him into the ground. Now lets hope they dont shed him to death like Into Mistchif, Justify and American Pharoah
@@rexgoodheart3471 : Well I just had a chat with another nice chap regarding Flightline & he rightly brought up the numbers regarding Flightline race wins which were impressive BUT arguably Greatest thoroughbred ever ?? There was a racehorse named FRANKEL named after legend Bobby Frankel who ran consistently into the 140's over 1 mile & 1 & Q mile going 14 UNBEATEN with 12 G1's from 2yt old to 4yr old campaign & retired the highest rated horse in HISTORY at 147. You should have a look at his races, you won't be disappointed friend....Promise!!👌
The sad thing about Flightline, if you can find one about this superhorse, is that he was so much better than the opposition that he was never pushed even close to the limit of his abilities.We will never know how fast he really was.
@@birdzilla106:You see friend there in lies the problem regarding Flightline. Look I'm British friend & I've heard alot of fans over the last 45 years say same thing about other top class horses in the US. I'm not going to even try to say Flightline was overrated & all the Flightline fans are demented because I saw the Pacific Classic & watched him make a mockery of the field. I'll just say I'm not here to argue with you guys OK BUT what I'd like to add is in a comment I read " He NEVER came off the bridle because he was so much better than the rest" so I wonder what he would have found if asked ? So exactly what would he have found IF asked ? Flightline was an incredible horse & he had an ""EXTREMELY HIGH""cruising speed what made him that much more special than his opposition & that's my Question friend ?? For a horse to only have " 6 Career Starts " but also the Pacific Classic the 2nd Country Grammer ran to a 123 winning the Dubai World Cup which tells us that year it was a poor quality feild & I've watched Flavien ride Flightline about 40 times & when he goes to the front & quickly opens up 3-4 lengths & coming to the final bend Flavien is pushing Flightline hands & heels BUT he's really pushing him out & that's all that's needed then he let's up about last 50 metres were you actually see Flightline slowing because that FREAKISH High Cruising Speed that he only had to use & we have to remember friend when he uses it from way over 3 furlongs out & he can't keep it up & Flavien knows that & that's why he stopped & cruised last 50 meters. If Flavien actually used the whip on him the final 2 furlongs he wouldn't have got much faster due to using his Cruising Speed. And with all these factors put in I don't see how they rate him the same as Dancing Brave who's 1986 Arc De Triomphe win was rated the GREATEST HORSE RACE EVER & the opposition he had " 4 Derby Winners & 18 G1 wins " he was running last 1& 1/2 furlongs out & he comes widest & he comes to join 7 G1 winner's in a line & Dancing Brave made it 8 G1 winner's in a row BUT Dancing Brave just flew past & then there was 7 G1 winner's AGAIN. There's no denying Flightline was a fantastic horse BUT Dancing Brave was an INCREDIBLE HORSE. Please watch the 1986 Arc De Triomphe & watch his saddest race day 1986 Epsom Derby, were he came from to lose a shortening half length because of his jockeys riding error.👍
He's as good as Secretariat, Citation, Spectacular Bid, Ghostzapper,etc. The common fan won't understand, but there are plenty of arguments that can be made and that have been made (by media/horse racing experts) that think Flightline is possibly the best dirt thoroughbred - EVER.
@@billybrownstar :The common fan won't understand ? But there are plenty of arguments that can be made & have been made by ( Media/Horse racing experts that think Flightline is the best dirt thoroughbred EVER. So you of course see yourself " As a Common race fan " & the media/
Highest level thoroughbred. Had a beautiful stride grabbed the surface . Only ran 6 times so hard to make him the greatest ever . But hard to imagine any horse beating him in that pacific classic ?
A "great" horse is never going to have many races if he is great from the beginning, unless he's a gelding. Not in this day and age. Flightline can be compared to the greatest ever. Some of the greatest ever -- that raced 20+ times, don't have 6 races total that are as breathtaking as Flightlines' ONLY 6. And he did it against G1 winners.
@@billybrownstar not a chance, 6 races is nothing. Flightline was a very good horse, that's it. A great horse is one that comes back for more in the face of possible defeat. I tell you what 6 races is, it's pure greed from the owners that's it.
@@strongteee I agree its pure greed. I hate it. But in those 6.... we saw how great he was. Even experts/jockeys/analysts say he's one of the best ever. I guess they don't have your knowledge base. 🤣. Again, only geldings are going to rack up races like they did back in the "golden era" of racing. If you think destroying your competition isn't a sign of greatness and that you need to "come back after facing defeat" to be considered great, you were never an athlete and were never in any kind of competition other than perhaps checkers.
@@dawniebon5912 that's irrelevant. You don't call a horse the greatest with only 6 races. It's pure nonsense, it might well of been but we will never know as the owners put greed before legacy.
had he been whipped or pressed, it's logical to say he would ran a 1:58.xx mile and a quarter, and broke some other track records. Never touch with whip AND.... was taken in/taken hold in final strides in multiple races where he was near the track record. The front fractions of BCC, combined with his final 1/8 mile time tell anyone who follows that, how much of a freak Flightline was. We thought Point Given, Smarty Jones, Arrogate, Shared Belief, American Pharoah, Justify, etc were "freaks". After seeing Flightline, those other horses were elite. Flightline was a freak.
Horseracing is such a sidelight now compared to the old days because the minute the owners realize they've got a horse like this they immediately put them out to stud because they are worth 100 times more there than they are on the track, without any of the risks of racing. We will never again see those mythical, hero horses that transcend the sport and become household names because they are not even around long enough for the common man to realize they exist. American Pharoah properly cracked the mainstream consciousness and then was all gone and pastured about 4 months later. This guy might have genuinely been the most Secretariat-like American horse since the OG but we'll never REALLY know and nobody outside the blue-blooded world of racing even knows his name...because he only ever ran 6 times and only twice at proper classic distances before retirement. TWICE Disastrous for the sport. Modern economics ruins everything once again as it does with every facet of life now it seems.
Best horse since Big Red. Career wise, Secretariat better. If they have a series of races from 1 mile to 1.25 miles, I think Flightline wins as many as Secretariat. I think he was that good. It's a shame that they retire elite horses as soon as they (owners) discover they are elite.
His slowest 3/4 was under 1:10 and in the Classic, he and Life is Good ran BC Sprint time according to the electronic timer. His ability to sit just off a blazing pace and then finish the race like they went 1:12 instead of 1:08 for the first six furlongs, is the best I've ever seen.
Flightline never lost , Big Red lost his maiden plus many more. Flightline was never pushed in the stretch. Too far ahead of the rest. Prat saved him each and every time. It’s not about breaking track records , it’s winning.
@@6cobrasnake9 it is, yes, but Flightline only raced 6 times (not his fault). Horses (other than geldings won't run 20 times in this day and age). Secretariat ran 21 times I think. In those 6...which is all we have to go on, my opinion is, Flightline was at least as impressive as Secretariat. All I can say, is Flightline can, with valid argument, be put in the discussion for one of top horses ever. It's a shame horses are no longer bred to be raced, but instead raced to be bred.
I love to watch horse race on tv! I love horses they are loveable; caring; warmth; idetest Animal cruelty! Animals have rights also! I am waiting it October 2024?😢😢😮😮
I did want him to try the dubi World Cup before retired 😊 but he’s a super horse One thing I can say John take is patient time with his horse cause he will never have a horse like him again🙏🙏
His last race proved the best against what the land has to offer!.. Even that 6 furlong fraction of 1:07,4 could not kill this horse! The announcer even compared him to Secretariat!
Este ejemplar demostro calidad .... el que se hiba a pelear con el quedaba reventado ....asi le paso a varios ...incluso a life is good ...que era bueno hasta que se enfrento a flighline
Flightline Did Not Look That Comfortable Over Belmonts Sandy Surface...Looks Like He is Spinning His Wheels a Bit Yet "Still" Overcame it and The Hot Fractions to Win by "6"
I know you all care so much about what I like so here it is I'll give it to you who I think are the most talented horses I've ever watched run I can only put the 1st in order you can shuffle the 2nd 3 Rd and 4th however you like... #1 secretariet.. #2 flightline#3 zenyatta #4 arrowgate

Flightline was down for almost a year. Half of those races were in 2021. Flightline obviously would have one the triple crown and no one would ever remember Rich Strike. So just look at the numbers and the fact that Flightline reached those top five numbers without ever getting the whip.
@@tylariasworld2410 : But then look at what Flightline beat in the Pacific romp which he had 1 horse to beat the( 2nd ) & his other races he beat nothing convincingly of course. To give him a rate of 141 is just Fking ludicrous. Was Flightline on par with the Great European Middle distance Champion " Dancing Brave " ??

Flightline way overrated friend!!
So obviously you are more knowledgeable of this, so how does Flightline’s numbers compare to every triple crown winner? Remember, Flightline was never whipped. Not once. I know there’s no way to measure that fact so just compare the numbers. It doesn’t matter who else was in the race. Just the final numbers. Thanks
@@tylariasworld2410 : Yeah you're correct regarding the numbers & no denying he was Top Class.

It seems of all the 30 + comments I read you're the only one who has a perfectly healthy ticking brain 😂 Flightline ran 2 x Top races of his 6 & won a very poor Pacific Classic by 18 lengths & the other was a bit more difficult so only won by 6 lengths & everyone's calling the best they've seen & makes California Chrome, Arrogate, Justify etc 2nd raters ? 😂😂
It doesn’t matter who he’s racing. You can comp the speed, conditions and the fact that Flightline never was whipped, against any horse throughout recorded history. Too easy Flightline is top five in history and probably #1 if ya whipped him hard.
@@tylariasworld2410 oh don't be silly, of course it matters! how the horse would react to another great horse along side it, horses aren't machines, they are animals and react just like us humans to different situations.
