@DRFGrening Would make zero financial sense to run him another year. Value could only sink. Had to do it

@DRFGrening Ugh 😩

@DRFGrening Truly sucks. Flightline brings so much excitement to horse racing. I hate hes being retired. Breeding standpoint, I get it. Fan perspective? I despise retiring a horse that’s only been run 6 times and fans love seeing.

@DRFGrening @NaomiTukker It’s unfortunate for horse racing, but at the same time a sound business decision.

@DRFGrening Esta Hipica todo es un negocio ya no es un espectáculo

@DRFGrening I’m shocked — shocked I tell you.

@DRFGrening

@DRFGrening @Racing_Lew Shock

@DRFGrening Booooooo

@DRFGrening Flightline and American Pharoah both went out with huge BC Classic wins

@DRFGrening Wow...kind of sad. He really looked like he loved what he was doing. Running and racing...Might dollar wins again. Sad...

@DRFGrening Too bad. A blow to racing having this brilliant horse rush off to the Breeding shed after only 6 starts. That’s why this sport continues to lose fans. The stars aren’t around long enough to really appreciate.

@DRFGrening Going to miss him so much

@DRFGrening Can’t wait to see the stud fee. Has to be big number I would think.

@DRFGrening This is why horse racing is a dying sport. Ridiculous decision really. Any interest garnered in racing after yesterday is gone.

@DRFGrening Who knows what flightline was on? Oh yea Sadler and company. I stopped playing #HorseRacing because of the trainer’s #Cheater it’s a veterinarian game 💉🩸

@DRFGrening Dave, no worlds left to conquer. It’s the right business decision. He is worth $20 million a year for the next 15-20 years as a stallion

@DRFGrening Well, you can now certainly forget this GOAT nonsense. 6 races.

@DRFGrening We need more Jess Jacksons who care about the game. Wealthy owners get rich off it but won’t sacrifice in its best interests. Classic may have been much more exciting w/Essential Quality in it or if American Pharaoh were part of duel btw Arrogate & California Chrome.

@DRFGrening @andyserling Terrible for the sport. Owners have plenty of money already. 🤦‍♂️
