That debut victory at Doncaster on 24 April is worth noting. Doncaster is a wide, galloping track that tends to suit horses with a bit of class and a proper racing action — it is not a place that flatters slow or uncertain horses, so winning first time out there carries genuine weight. At 50%, Flight Control has won exactly half of every race it has entered, which for a young horse still finding its way is a striking return.
The operation behind Flight Control is Kevin Frost's yard at Averham Park in Nottinghamshire, a stable that has sent out 25 winners already this season — a figure that tells you this is a busy, functioning yard with horses fit enough to win regularly. Frost is not a trainer who fills his entries just to fill them, so the fact that Flight Control has been placed in both its races suggests the team see a future in this horse and are managing it carefully. Having raced just one day ago, Flight Control is clearly in active campaign mode, and with a first win already banked, the yard will be looking to find out just how high this horse can go.
