In two months he'll be five years old.
I'm sure he was just as fast when he was a two year old.
I'm also sure they knew if they turned him loose at that age his less than mature body couldn't handle it.
As for him getting beat a week from Saturday. I sincerely doubt that will happen.
He's so much better than everyone else he can regress quite a bit off the Pacific Classic and still get the job done.
Do you guys think the riders on the other horses might ride differently trying to secure 2nd by not taking him on rather than risk getting nothing by challenging him?
I'm convinced that's what Johnny V did last year with MEDINA SPIRIT. Nothing wrong with 2nd money with that purse.

Life is Good is certainly the key to the race. That is his edge over Flightline, who can be shaky out of the gate. He can gain a couple lengths at the start, I cannot see the jock sacrificing this advantage, so I think he is a send. What works out in Flightline's favor tho is that LIG has so much speed he will space the field out and Flightline can eventually get outside of LIG if he is drawn inside.
