What a debut!✈️ FLIGHT COMMAND, the first U.S.-based winner for his sire Flightline, dominates the fifth race to break his maiden under Manuel Franco 🏇🏽, who gets his third win today, for Rudy Rodriguez.

@jmg27_janet @jockeyfranco Thank you so much to the Sarf owners for the opportunity very blessed to have this amazing opportunity with this baby very happy and thank you for my team that do amazing job 🙏🇲🇽

@jockeyfranco @RudyRodriguezNY The first of many... the future is BRIGHT for Flightline progeny! 🌟

@USASteeplechase @jockeyfranco @RudyRodriguezNY This horse has a horribly desperate future if his trainer is R Rodriguez….. despicable.

@jockeyfranco @RudyRodriguezNY What a bargain.

@jockeyfranco @RudyRodriguezNY Amazing...

@JohnPanagot @jockeyfranco @RudyRodriguezNY 💪🏇💪

@jockeyfranco @RudyRodriguezNY What a finish. A true athlete, and a performance to remember. Definitely a horse to keep an eye on. 🏇

@jockeyfranco @RudyRodriguezNY Big effort !

@jockeyfranco @RudyRodriguezNY Flightline was 6 from 6, including the 2022 Breeder' Cup Classic in very easy fashion as a 4 year old.

@USASteeplechase @jockeyfranco @RudyRodriguezNY B4 we start the hype-o-rama..ooops..may be 2 late.😂 No disrespect intended. At all. But most every other 🏇 in the race was worth under 50 large. Flightline's stud fee is $150,000. This 1 brought $275,000 at Ocala-seems a tad 🤏..duznit? 🤔 Why4? GL and GR 2 connections. 🫡💚🍀
