A great Belmont undercard on Saturday sees the return of Flightline in the Met mile. Hailed as the next big thing in the US, he’s undefeated winning his first i3 starts by a combined distance of 37 lengths and the Grade 1 Malibu by over 10 lengths when last out on Boxing Day. He then picked up a small injury and this is his first race back. Trainer reports they are working back from the Breeders Cup classic for which he has been clipped into a top priced 7s on the back of Saturday’s declaration. Will be fascinating to see how he runs as he’s up against a solid opponent in Speakers Corner.
 
Race didn’t go at all to plan but loved to see him settle and take a lead before showing his usual burst of acceleration. He looks the real deal just hope they can keep him sound.

Been watching flat racing for over 30 years and that performance from Flightline last night has to be one of… if not the best I have seen. Simply sensational burst of speed and sustained run to the line… the 9/4 for the Classic surely won’t last.

He was unbelievable. I don't really watch flat racing or dirt racing but that was special.

Almost Secretariat esque
 
Flighline a true phenom! Superb to have watched what he's done this season, truly the easiest wins I've ever seen on the flat. Literally never in doubt at any stage of his races throughout his career. Just a shame it's such a short one.
