Undefeated Flightline (Tapit), who retired to Lane's End Farm after an 8 1/4-length victory in the Breeders' Cup Classic Nov. 5, will stand the 2023 season for $200,000.

The 4-year-old was bred by Jane Lyon's Summer Wind Farm and raced by Summer Wind in partnership with Hronis Racing, Siena Farm, West Point Thoroughbreds and Woodford Racing. He was trained by John Sadler and ridden in all six of his starts by Flavien Prat. In addition to the Classic, Flightline won the GI Pacific Classic, GI Metropolitan H. and GI Malibu S.

A fraction interest in the likely Horse of the Year sold for $4.6 million prior to the start of Keeneland's November sale Monday.

Sporting a figure of 139, he is the world's highest rated racehorse in 2022, and is the highest-rated dirt horse of all time.
