Flightline
I'd love to hear everyone's opinions on Flightline before he runs in the Classic. For me, all I'm doing is hoping and praying that he blows us all away on Saturday.

Re: Flightline
I think he will. It seems like no one wants to compromise finishing in a better position by going with him and I don’t blame them. I think it will be similar to knicks go’s classic. But if anyone can win besides him I believe it’s taiba.

Re: Flightline
On the show this morning Simon said that if he only wins by two we will all be disappointed. Pretty crazy, but true!

Re: Flightline
I think he is fantastic and him winning like he did in the Pacific Classic would be amazing. But I also wouldn't mind an upset.

Re: Flightline
Taiba and Epicenter exacta.
Life is Good makes Flightline go to fast too early, he fades to 3rd. Life is Good off the board, maybe last.
Rich Strike gets in the super for 4th and a huge underlay because he should be 25-1 but will probably be 10/1 or 12/1.

Re: Flightline
That was my thought (Life is Good)! He is legit fast and I just don't see them letting Flightline just go on with it and have it his own way.A.R. Roberts wrote: ↑1 year ago Taiba and Epicenter exacta.

Re: Flightline
I agree with the Life is Good part. I don't think he loves distance and I think he will fade. However, I think Flightline is capable of putting him away and others. I guess we will see.A.R. Roberts wrote: ↑1 year ago Taiba and Epicenter exacta.

I love Richie so much, I hope he gets up there. I agree with Epicenter being up there as well.

Very true, with the amount of hype he's had. We all want him to be the next Secretariat.The Steward wrote: ↑1 year ago On the show this morning Simon said that if he only wins by two we will all be disappointed. Pretty crazy, but true!

Re: Flightline
Flightline has never had to deal with the early speed of Life Is Good. It will give him a test he has never had. We will not see another Pacific Classic.Hazel Anthony wrote: ↑1 year agoI agree with the Life is Good part. I don't think he loves distance and I think he will fade.

From a handicapping standpoint, you have to look at who benefits from this. My opinion, its absolutly Taiba (who I think is EXTREMELY good and we have not seen his best) and Epicenter.
Don't sleep on Olympiad either.

This is true, but will Life is Good's connections really try to gun for the lead and go up against Flightline or will they try to stick around for a piece of the pie? I'm no horse racing expert, just wondering.
Yes, you are correct. Epicenter always shows. I can't help but hope you will be wrong though, because I would love to see a really good performance from Flightline. I am not against an upset though.

Re: Flightline
There is zero chance that Life Is Good's connections will not be sending him to the lead and have come to just hit the board. His best and only chance at winning is to get to the lead and hope Flightline doesn't fire or Life Is Good is better (highly questionable at this point in his career).Hazel Anthony wrote: ↑1 year agoA.R.
