Ride Flightline in the Breeders Cup Classic - 11/5/22 - Keeneland 

How about a camera on the Shoe and Ferdinand vs Allysheba in the BC classic?

Both FL and LIG were retired right after the race.

@@CamaroKidd2022 I know they were, but it would have been nice. Now we gotta see a rematch through their progeny

@@andrewambriz6784 okay. The way you talked about FL it didn't seem like you knew. The crazy thing about it is that FL's owners knew BEFORE the race that they were retiring him. They said on the interviews that they would decide tomorrow (Sunday) but that was a lie. Wikipedia had FL listed as retired a couple of hours after the race was over.

I would bet on Flightline. He was racing without steroids and easily pulled away.

@@krism2649 watch this race again then watch Secretariat in the Belmont and then see if your opinion has not changed. Big Red wasn't on steroids he had an abnormally large heart which made him run baby run. Flightline is an awesome horse

@@kennethmalone8104 I watched secretary it's Belmont in real time. He was on steroids, and they almost made him sterile. It took months for his fertility to improve after he was retired because of the steroids. Steroids also cause enlarged hearts. Well Secretariat had the large heart Gene as do many thoroughbreds and even saddlebreds, his was unhealthily large from the steroids. Lance Armstrong who also used steroids suffered the same effect. In 1974, sports illustrated published an article about Secretariat that mentioned the steroid use and Secretariat's fertility problems. "they used to Call Him Sexy" .Steroids were the norm from the '60s until 2008, even on race day. It was a sad chapter in U.S. racing. Secretariat's inconsistencies were no doubt due to the steroid use. Please no I do not blame Secretariat for this, I have always thought of him as a victim of the steroid use and it's poster child. At the keeneland sales in the late seventies, I was appalled at the yearlings because it was obvious when I walked up to the stalls that the yearlings were jacked up on steroids. It may muscle them up and make them look good, but the steroids are very damaging. After Eight Belles tragic death in the 2008 Derby, steroids were banned from 45 days of yearling sales and 30 days of a race. Big Brown was not given steroids before the 2008 Belmont because of the controversy. I told friends that he didn't have a chance of winning without them, and sure enough he ended up being pulled up during the race. Steroids tremendously enhanced race performance, which is why they are now banned.

@@krism2649 sorry you feel this way and I cannot agree. That lady loved that horse to much to jeopardize his health. I am a big fan of Tapit and the fact that Flightline is his son is great for both of them. Each era is going to have their timely hero and that's OK. But until That horse re-write those 3 track records in the same year then anything less will be considered almost as good. I don't take anything from Flightline in fact I was rooting for his brother ( Charge It ) doing this year's triple crown races

@@kennethmalone8104 It isn't my opinion. Sports illustrated would have been sued for libel if their article in 1974 wasn't true. Even dog show people were giving steroids to their show dogs in the 70s. It was the norm. Sorry you can't see the incredibly obvious just from looking at Secretariat. It was sad what was done to him and others. It took seven years for Genuine Risk to get in foal and Winning Colors was the "studdiest" horse on the farm after her retirement, according to a farm employee. A friend worked at TB facilities in KY, FL, and Canada in the 70s. Steroids were the norm, and caused much harm. Truly a dark era in racing. The records set during the steroid decades are falsely inflated. This is why Lance Armstrong's Your de France "wins" were taken away. Steroids were legal in horse racing until 2008, so the "records" will stay on the books, but the performances were enhanced by the steroids and therefore false compared to horses racing clean

Apparently LIG couldn't handle the 1 1/4.

@@CamaroKidd2022 Like Randy Moss said in an interview before the BCC..."LIG is the the 2nd best horse in the race, but don't put him in your exactas. The tactic he needs to try to even have a chance win, is going to set him up for failure. Once he's passed by Flightline in the stretch, LIG is gonna fade out of the money." --- Boy did Randy hit the nail on the head.

Lmao 🤣 Racing FORM BEYER NEVER GAVE THAT NUMBER 😂 STOP 🛑 YOUR BULL 💩 FLIGHTLINE IS THE BEST EVER

@@dabking3611 it's all over the Internet dude! The guy that created the Beyer gave Secretariat a 139. Flightline isn't even talked about anymore!! Go lay an egg. 6 wins is nothing!!!

Winstar said last month this was LIG last race before going to stud.

It is amazing that Flightline kept up so effortlessly with Life Is Good, then passed him like LIG was standing still. Poor LIG was so out of gas that he came in fifth. Sure do hope we can see more races from Flightline. Most fantastic horse we have seen since Secretariat, and may be even greater.

@@snowy1634 I rate him higher than Secretariat. Steroids are not allowed 30 days before race day, so we are seeing what the horses really are.

@@snowy1634 FL was retired a few hours after that race and the owners already knew they were retiring him before the race even happened. 2 hours after the race was over Wikipedia already had FL listed as retired. The owners were lying when they said they would decide his retirement status the day after the race.

@@snowy1634 FL was raced 6 times in 18 months and won 4 grade 1 races. Secretariat raced 21 times in 16 months for God sake!!! Secretariat raced 3 times in a 5 week period when he set 3 race records in the triple crown!! FL raced 3 times a year!!!!!! FL can't even be compared to Secretariat!!!

Flavian couldn't carry a tv with him just so you could hear the tv call. This is the great Keeneland track announcer Kurt Becker.

Define "Real". This was the track announcer. I'm not sure it gets any more real than that. Larry Collmus did NBC call on TV.

Secretariats last race was also as a 3yr old.

@@c.s.mcleod7383 secretariat ran 21 times even though he retired at 3. FL was 4 and only raced 6 times.

I hear you but every year there seems to be atleast 2 or 3 really good horses so I guess we can be thankful for that.

Obviously you if you clicked on the video.

@@hoyle7780 , think it can be a bit overkill . Ok, he won. He was my Best Bet of the whole year. Some people will think, " wow". I think who cares. I've seen this once. Afterwards, it's just something for someone to make money off it. I hope NBC takes this down.

​@@miguelnolasco2533 YOU 🤡 KEEP DRINKING 🍺

Go back to where you came.

@@question_it_701 I have watched Horse Racing and bet on Race Horses for 57 years. No race is different. A horse wins , other horse finish behind the winner. Nothing changes. I won with Flightline. I just wished I had 2 more winning horse in the races, I did have to pick All to win the Pick 6. I had 4 singles on my ticket.
