Which means it’s entirely possible that Littleprincessemma, Chasing Yesterday, etc, will be visiting him! Jane Lyon owns quite the broodmare.
We all know just how much she looooves Tapit. I'd love to know how much of her broodmare band she'll now be diverting from Tapit to Flightline.

It's fun to hypothesize what you'd do yourself if you had the money and the mares.
Would I take a $200,000 gamble on an unproven stallion? Maybe for one or two mares but that would be it.
There's not been a recent stallion in the last decades who has entered at a fee like that... and ended up justifying it.
He's already a million dollar yearling and a HOTY... how astronimical are the odds that he completes the triple and also ends up a leading sire off the bat??
It happened as recently as AP Indy..,who’s a legend. The odds of Flightline becoming an Indy at stud aren’t good, but not impossible

That was a 30 years ago (holy cow), and even so...the part in bold is asking about odds that Flightline would become a million dollar yearling, HOY and Leading sire...the “triple”

good to know Lanes End will cap his book.
Flightline's first book of mares has been set at around 150, according to Farish, who added that the quality of mares submitted so far has been impressive.

There is talk that Blue Stripe(ARG) will be going to Flightline. (from Chilean source)

https://www.instagram.com/p/ClCbTzVJQ9A/
Ahora Blue Stripe fue vendida como yegua de cría en US$ 4 millones al japonés Yoshiyuki Ito y podría servida en 2023 por el súper crack Flightline, ganador por demolición del G1 Breeders' Cup Classic y, a juicio de muchos, uno de los mejores caballos de la historia.

I'm pleased to see that Glen Hill spreads their mares around to many different stallions.

Honeysuckle --> Walk In The Park (if she is retired)

They can't seem to make up their mind if she will retire or will race in 2023. But it seems like she is already booked to him and they are leaning more that way.

TDN has started up their 2023 Mating Plans series again, this year starting with Bobby Flay’s broodmare band. Here’s the link:

I’m reading the article right now, and Bobby chose to send a Ghostzapper mare, Potion, to Justify, even though Justify‘s own broodmare sire is Ghostzapper.

Obviously Bobby doesn’t have a problem with the cross, but I’m curious if that’s too close for anyone else’s personal comfort?

to be honest, i wouldn't be surprised if Nashville gets a book in the high 100s or even 200+. will the vast majority be claimers/dam of claimers? yeah. but he'll still receive a few mares from good families such as Super Espresso herself, whose 2nd dam is Courtly Dee. i guess it will be a tough year in the market given the debuts of Flightline & Life is Good, but there will still be people willing to send good mares to a stallion whose ad features... um... a "blazing fast" workout. and even then i wouldn't be surprised if he gets shipped off to Korea when WinSh*t realizes he isn't the second coming of Northern Dancer with his first crop.
