The filly ended the year with a perfect record of three starts, three wins, and $1,381,250 in earnings, which helped propel Flashback into the top 10 of second-crop sires in North America. Flashback had progeny earnings of $2,645,811 for the year, which also ranked him as the fourth-leading sire in Pennsylvania and seventh in the Mid-Atlantic region. “The good news is we’re not raising his stud fee for 2020,” Brok told the crowd in atten- dance, who kept warm on a brisk afternoon by sampling hot homemade food inside Diamond When British Idiom captured the down to his runners.

He absolutely loves running on turf, and to a lesser degree, Polytrack. His victory in an allowance race on the Gulfstream Park turf on February 23 was beautiful. He moved with a nice controlled, methodical rhythm, and didn’t waste much energy. He dealt with multiple stimuli, went around horses, changed gears into individual herd dynamic, released cleanly and looked great on the gallop-out. His subsequent win in the Spiral Stakes (G3) was good but not great. When he encountered high-stress moments and needed to dig in, his motion got a little squirrelly. His head stayed straight, but his hind end moved laterally. We noticed a lot of horses struggling and not changing leads in a timely manner on Turfway’s Polytrack, so perhaps we should excuse some of the inefficiency. He won the race, but the pattern of motion definitely was not as smooth as we saw on turf. Moving to dirt, he is a bigger question mark. Black Onyx has run ok on dirt but not nearly as well as he did on turf. He showed too much body language (head movement and high knee action) at times on dirt.
