Unbeaten 'TDN Rising Star' Flightline (Tapit) continued his march towards the GI Breeders' Cup Classic Saturday morning with another strong breeze at Santa Anita, where he worked five furlongs but was credited with six panels in 1:12.40 (1/2).
“He's right on point,” said trainer John Sadler following the 6:35 a.m. drill. “I had him in a 1:00 2/5. He went the first eighth in :12 1/5, the half in :48, five eighths in a 1:00 2/5 and he went out six furlongs in 1:12 3/5 and seven eighths in 1:25 4/5.”
The $1-million FTSAUG yearling was last seen airing in the GI TVG Pacific Classic S. Sept. 3 by nearly 20 lengths.
“This was perfect, it was a good work, nothing serious,” Sadler added. “The next two (on Oct. 15 and 22), we'll get a little more serious, but he was impressive today… He's right on schedule.”
