The man, the myth, the legend & the 2022 Breeders’ Cup Classic champion, Flightline.

He was such a sweet boy 🥹

When I was a freshman at UK I was one of a couple hundred people in Commonwealth Stadium watching this game in the rain. Freshman Lyndsey always thought UK was capable, but it’s still so wild to witness the turn around.

A contentious field of 3yos is set to compete in today’s Bryan Station Stakes at @keenelandracing. @benkudla from @Equibase has full race analysis and is backing a “horse for the course” as his top pick: bit.ly/4jJsNZn

@benkudla Your power picks hit the right person on the right day. Boom!

@johng032 Your email with spot plays got the right person on the right day. Boom again!

Thanks guys. Huge help!

G3 Princess Rooney Stakes winner KERRY'S KISS looked simply stunning this morning ahead of her bid in the G1 @BreedersCup Filly & Mare Sprint for trainer @SaffieJosephJr 🟣

Kerry's Kiss, a 4yo Vino Rosso filly, is coming off four consecutive wins 👀

2024 Princess Rooney winner Soullso trained by Saffie Joseph, Jr., went on to win the BC F&M Sprint and was named Eclipse Award Champion Female Sprinter that year.
