I hope Life is Good makes it to the Classic. Not that I think Flightline can’t do it, but I’d like to see him chase LIG, challenge him fairly early, and see if he can put him away and still draw off on a track that’s a little tougher on speed than DMR was today.
I think LIG is the faster horse early. I know Flightline has had horses in front of him already, but I don’t think he likes it. I think he’ll pull to chase and take on LIG early enough in the race for a serious battle to occur. That will be the kind of test to show conclusively what he has in the tank. He’s obviously better than LIG to date, but he’s never hooked a horse like him and still won. It’s the extreme tests that will 100% convince me he deserves to be mentioned among the best horses I’ve seen.
