Co-owner Kosta Hronis revealed on this week's Thoroughbred Daily News Writers' Room podcast that the undefeated Flightline could race on next year as a 5-year-old, rather than heading off to stud after the Breeders' Cup Classic.
“Just like with Stellar Wind, which we left on the track an extra year, just like with Accelerate, which worked out great after we decided to bring him back for another year, our philosophy has always been that they were born to be race horses,” Hronis told TDN. “Let's let them do what they want to do as long as they want to do it. I can't really give you a percentage when it comes to his running next year. You'd have to ask Flightline. But I really believe as long as he is healthy and happy with what he is doing and he still wants to go to the racetrack every day and be a part of this and he still wants to run the way he has been running, then I think there is a great possibility that we will see him next year as 5-year-old.”
