Lane’s End has withheld the stud fee for Flightlinethe undefeated son of multiple top sire Tapit and Horse of the Year 2022, for $150,000 for 2025.

Flightline’s first harvest consists of weaned youngsters this year.

“The highly anticipated Flightline youngsters will be featured at the upcoming November sales, and we have already seen international demand for his first crop based on his seven-figure sales in Japan,” said Bill Farish of Lane’s End.

Northern Farm and Grand Stud each sold weanling foals at the Japan Racing Horse Association Select Sale for the equivalent of $1,305,652 each.
