He did go out in style
They could have just conserved his energy and raced for second place but they put it to Flightline and gave him a race and something interesting for us fans to watch.
Or they could have just run him in the mile
It was a very sporting move and the racing fans should appreciate it.
As stud prospects I like both flight Line and Life Is Good. Only time will tell on how successful they will be. Both are brilliant racehorses.
Excellent horse that had the bad luck of competing in the same time frame as Flightline. Happy retirement fella - give us some good future runners! 😊
Life Is Good at WinStar Farm !! Enjoy this outstanding ceature.
Got a feeling his babies are going to be fast.May not run mile and quarter, but he did himself proud in the classic.
Life is good finished in 5th place in the BCC. That isn't very good.
That he did!
@@CamaroKidd2022 guessing u dint give him credit he deserves , he was Gutsy in defeat to a monster horse and never was a mile and a quarter horse life is good , but he tried all he could and just couldn’t carry his speed that far, everybody who came from behind just barely got up so there was t much separating 2-5 place, flightline was way ahead anyway, Life is good ran a good speed fig too. His ideal distance is 1 mile. Try finishing a mile and a quarter race and run 6 furlongs in 108 n change, not many will be around at the end either, was his only shot to try n win,
@Ca…You don’t know much about thorough bred racing or you wouldn’t talk that way about an extremely talented horse . I’ve seen a great horse like Dr. Fager get beat that way going all out at a mile and a quarter being caught in a speed duel with a sprinter known as a RABBIT in those days then not having enough left for the last quarter mile. Life Is Good was a very courageous horse in the Classic and probably could have won the BC dirt mile if he was entered . So horses like Dr.Fager and Life is Good who give everything they have , should be treated like the true Champions they are, with RESPECT.
@@robertlosasso4222 coulda woulda shoulda. Dr. Fager and Rabbit have nothing to do with the BCC of 2022 so not sure why you are even talking about it. I didn't say I didn't respect LIG, I said 5th place wasn't very good. You are talking the way you are because of your love for horses and not the reality it is. Just admit it, LIG got smoked in that race. The only time finishing in 5th place is any good is in a 26 mile marathon.
I hate to say goodbye to my boy. Thanks life is good for bringing me so much joy. I hope that you have a wonderful career as a stud.
Thanks so much for watching!
Congrats WinStar on this great adoption ... treat him with treats!!! X O California where Life is Good
😂 It’s not an adoption. It was their horse. Farms don't "adopt" stallions.
If this was my horse knowing Flightline was going in the classic, I would've put LIG in the dirt mile to go out a winner in a BC race
Magnificent young stallion, I look forward to seeing his babies.
Great Show!
He is a speedball,he ran a great B.C Classic,
Very fast horse 🐎 good luck to everyone involved 👍
Thanks for watching! :)
You did good in the Classic LIG. You would've won the sprint or the dirt mile that day but they decided to test you at a distance that was just a furlong or so beyond your optimal distance. I was always a skeptic about this horse during the 2021 triple crown trail, knowing that he wasn't a true 10F horse. I always thought he was overrated, But as I watched him more this year , he made a believer out of me. At 1 mile, Flightline beats him by 1 length, thats how good LIG is. I think LiG is one of the fastest from 6F to 1 mile in the past 10 years or so.
How can you say that FL only beats LIG by 1 length in the mile? Just because they were close together in the BCC at one mile doesn't mean that FL would only beat LIG by one length in the mile.
@@CamaroKidd2022 That’s all right , let him go out in style. He’s been an outstanding race horse , he has won nine out of twelve races and has been good for the thorough bred industry. He certainly never disgraced himself . I know where your coming from with your statement, but let’s give him the respect he’s due . God bless you LIG and sire some great horses.
@@robertlosasso4222 all horses deserve to go out in style. Just like FL, LIG only won 4 Gr1 races. That is not that impressive. Kind of off subject, but the fact that people say FL is the GOAT over Secretariat is the biggest farse ever. FL had a great run, but he only raced 3 lousy times a year. If Secretariat had months off between races he would have won every race by 30 lengths. Secretariat raced an average of a little over 1 time a month which is insane!! A year from now, FL and LIG will hardly be mentioned just like Justify. A 1000 years from now, Secretariat will still be talked about as the GOAT.
@@CamaroKidd2022 Huh? I agree Secretariat is the best horse ever but no one stated FL was the GOAT. They stated he is the best since Sec.... and he is. He was NEVER challenged. Prat NEVER used the whip and in every race he basically hand-rode him. FL won every race by an average of 10 lengths! "Ifs" and "Could haves" do not count. Sec lost 3 races, FL zero. But Sec's win at the Belmont was the greatest moment is all of sports, in my opinion.
@@waynelindafravel apparently you haven't looked at many many comments on many different videos. Many people have said FL is the greatest horse ever! Secretariat ran 21 races in 16 months. FL raced 6 times in 18 months pal! Secretariat raced a little over 1 time per month which is totally insane. FL raced 1 time every 3 months, big deal. FL was rested way more the any horse he ran against and he only ran against 1 good horse in the Pacific and some good horses in the BCC. Secretariat ran 3 times within 5 weeks time in the Triple crown. He set race records in each race and was never whipped once! FL ran 3 races in one year and never set a race record even though he could have in the Pacific. Secretariat set a track record and a world record besides the 3 races of the Triple crown. There have been 144 Kentucky Derbys, 147 Preakness, and over 150 Belmont's. There has been over 1000 horses ran in those races and Secretariat holds the records in all three. FL was a great horse for the moment but he only won 4 GR 1 races. FL will be long forgotten a couple years from now and Secretariat will still be talked about 1000 years from now. FL is beautiful and was a really good horse but he doesn't even belong in the same sentence as Secretariat.
Love this horse. Into mischief is making some really nice horses, great sire.
Life is Good…is really, really GOOD
I have a feeling he is going to be a great sire.
god all my favorite horses are retieing now!!
Life is Good could have run the BC dirt mile and most likely won it , not positive but likely . I wish him a lot of luck as a sire and God Bless him .
Beautiful horse.
Great horse. Unfortunately, he had to play Sham to Flightline's Secretariat. Any other year . .
Life is good ran a great great Breeders cup it was electric lhim and Flightline what can you say simply the best we have gonna miss you
His feet??
Beautiful horse. Great career.
He raced good, just met a better horse. Will be interesting to see who is better sire
We like him good move
What kind of front shoes is he wearing? If anyone knows…?…
💜
he should have ran the classic in '21 and then the dirt mile in '22. that way he couldve beat knicks go and then avoid flightline the next year.
I don't think there is any question Life Is Good is going to succeed in his next career! Likely a rematch with this last major foe on the track Flightline and I'm more inclined to think the son of Into Mischief might be the better one at stud. But they both should succeed and the best mares will be split up visiting Win Star and Lane's End for several years.
Can he really be mentioned as one of the greats
NO! FL shouldn't even be mentioned as 1 of the greats. He only raced 6 times in 18 months and only had 4 GR 1 wins.
@@CamaroKidd2022
Can he be mentioned in the same breath as Frankel
@@patricksmith3432 I don't really know much about Frankel but I heard he was a great horse so probably not. FL was great 6 races just doesn't cut it. Justify was 6-0 and won the TC and he isn't even talked about. The same will happen to FL. To bad FL wouldn't have run in the TC. That would have shown if he was great or not.
@@CamaroKidd2022 the reason I replied was because he didn't race in the Triple Crown he wasn't mature enough... he's too big, if you're going to breed your mare to a horse like that can you imagine how big the foal's going to be plus he's got to have some hind end trouble: left hock, right whorl bone.... the same as Essential Quality.... doesn't that show you something's wrong with that line of breeding? Tapit does not throw a big ass end on them you got to breed him to a big ass mare!
@@montanawarren8462 not sure if you are talking about LIG or FL and quite frankly it doesn't matter. In a year from now they will both be forgotten for the most part unless they have some good offspring.
IT ONLY PROVED THAT EVERYTHING HAS AN ENDING….
WHETHER IN A GOOD OR BAD WAY…IT WON’T MATTER..
I'll give his connections credit for running him in the Classic instead of the Mile. He didn't win the Classic but there are times when a loss like that gives you tons of street cred. He gave it his all and I'd put a mare to him before I'd send one to the delicate butterfly that won the race.
Can't be a butterfly to win that race and you're going to have to put him with mares that have staying pedigree for him to have proper grade one type off springs.
Delicate, he only beat LIG at his own game, inhaled, and spit him out. No such thing as street cred in the racing business. Shoulda kept him in the dirt mile for the win.
@@Alp560 FL was only raced 6 times because he was fragile.
He did go out in style
They could have just conserved his energy and raced for second place but they put it to Flightline and gave him a race and something interesting for us fans to watch.
Or they could have just run him in the mile
It was a very sporting move and the racing fans should appreciate it.
@@elgransenor1472 if you want to say he gave FL a race for about a mile that is fine. Unfortunately the race was 1 1/4 and LIG finished 6th out of 8 horses and probably 20 lengths behind FL.
Very good horse but why would anyone pay a stud fee of $100000 for a horse that got smoked by FL? Just saying.
Because he was a promising horse. Too much of a horse for Todd pletcher. Only bib baffert knows how to deal with dirt legends. Now Sadler is coming back again
Stupid comment. Todd pletcher is the king of the Philly. 5 Kentucky oaks and 3 breeders cup distaff. Champion and double champion like Ashado and Rags to Riches and Malathaat etc. competent enough on turf that he won breeders cup turf against the euros with English Channel and both juvenile turf and juvenile filly turf. Also to close he has won 2 Kentucky derbies and 5 Belmont stakes with 5 seconds. Now 3 breeds cup juveniles after Forte smoked non Bafferts Cave rock and National treasure. The silks reminded me of 2019 when Vino Rosso smoked Mckizie in the breeders cup classic. Bob also started 10 years earky and is 15 years older. Plus zero Chad browns or Brad cox or Steve Assmussens for competition in California. Sadler lol. Please . No Kentucky oaks or derbies or belmonts and 2 breeders cup wins. Try again before you bring that weak stuff. Todd took a shot with LIG and he ran with FL for 1:35 seconds. Obviously LIG isn’t suited for that distance . But yes your right !!! Lol fool
I think cause he was good enough off a 9 month break to battle Jackie’s warriors to a nose at a sprint distance. We all know at a mile he the best. No horse even flighline can take him for 6-7 or 8 furlongs. And he is competent enough that he won two grade ones at 9 furlongs. Great horse
@@tonykiriakidis5219 arrogate, 2 triple crowns. Uhmmm he is the king buddy!! Plus the other 20 other potential greats. Charlatan , Nadal. Mackenzie wasn't all that either bro. 2 triple crowns buddy. Todd platecher will never get one as long as Bobby B is in town.
@@tonykiriakidis5219 silver charm, pioneer of the Nile, authentic, POINT GIVEN, war emblem, charlatan , nadal, real quiet, Indian Charlie, bodemister. My guy STFU
life is good you enjoy the girls. life is good you will be a great daddy.
Wao no good horses left no good for the sport
Life not good?
