Another Flightline Colt Breaks Seven Figures, Bringing $1.7m

Hip 45 | Keeneland

Another son (hip 45) from the first crop of Horse of the Year Flightline broke the seven-figure mark when Japan's Naohiro Sakaguchi went to $1,700,000 to secure the half-brother to GSW Promise Keeper (Constitution), SW/GSP Wicked Awesome (Awesome Again) and GSP War Stopper (Declaration of War). Bred by Rock Ridge Thoroughbreds, the colt was consigned by Warrendale Sales. His first dam is a half-sister to GI Lane's End Breeders' Futurity Stakes winner Great Hunter (Aptitude) while another half-sister produced MGSW/MGISP Owendale (Into Mischief). Rock Ridge purchased the mare for $200,000 as a broodmare at KEENOV in 2015.
