The Flightline colt who sold for a record-setting $10.5 million at the OBS Spring sale Friday arrived at the Southern California barn of trainer Bob Baffert Saturday night shortly before 9 p.m.
“He's a specimen,” Baffert said Sunday morning. “A man among boys really. And with his pedigree, you know why he cost so much.”
Bloodstock agent Donato Lanni signed the sales ticket for the colt on behalf of Amr Zedan's Zedan Racing. The purchase price shattered the all-time OBS record of $3 million, which Zedan paid for Grade I winner Brant (Gun Runner) at the OBS March sale in 2025.
Baffert said the colt handled the cross-country trip to Santa Anita so well, he'll likely go the track Monday morning for light exercise.
“He's a handful. He's jumping out of his skin,” Baffert said.
The 2-year-old, from the first crop of champion Flightline, is out of stakes winner and graded-placed Lucrezia (Into Mischief). He worked a furlong at the under-tack preview of the Spring sale in a bullet :9 3/5 at OBS Apr. 11.
