The record-breaking $10.5-million Flightline 2-year-old colt purchased last week at the OBS April Sale has officially been named Zedan.
The name was announced on social media via the Zedan Racing Stables page in a note that read, “The Flightline colt out of Lucrezia that we purchased at @OBSSales has been named #ZEDAN. Mr. Bob Baffert selected the name after meeting Amr's father, H.E. Dr. Fareed M. Zedan, during his visit to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The two hit it off wonderfully and Bob selected the name ZEDAN as a kind gesture to honor our family.”
Purchased Friday on the sale's last day by Amr Zedan, the colt shipped to California Saturday and was on track for Baffert at Santa Anita Sunday.
