he beat Secretariats Derby time at the same distance yesterday....but hes 4 year old. At the same time, the jockey actually stood up and slowed him with half a furlong left. No telling what he could have done ridden out...also interesting..he’s 7-0...

“How do his times line up against Secretariat? Is he in the ballpark?”

Mile and a quarter races:

Secretariat 1973 Kentucky Derby 1:59.4, still the record after 49 years.

Flightline 2022 Pacific Classic 1:59.28 .

4 year old Flightline will never contend for the triple crown, but he does have Secretariat-like speed.
