🚨2-YEAR-OLD WATCH: FIRST PROGENY OF FLIGHTLINE SET TO DEBUT THIS WEEK AT CHURCHILL DOWNS
Multiple Eclipse Award champion Flightline - arguably the fastest Thoroughbred this century – will have his first runners at Churchill Downs this week when two juveniles from his highly anticipated first crop are scheduled to debut beneath the Twin Spires.
Following a 35-year riding career with more than 5,000 victories, Corey Lanerie announced he will retire at the conclusion of the @ChurchillDowns Spring Meet on June 28.
“Racing has given me a wonderful life, and I’ll always be thankful for that."
