Jackie’s Warrior vs. Life Is Good
This is one of the more interesting matchups on a great Travers card.
It reminds me a bit of Serengeti Empress vs. Gamine. Serengeti Empress seemed like the much faster horse early but Gamine had the faster final time figures coming in. So the question was what would happen when Gamine was forced to chase a much faster horse for the first time.
Jackie’s Warrior is as fast as they come early, but Life Is Good put up some very serious final time figures months ago and could be even better now with several months of development.
What happens when he chases Jackie’s Warrior?
Will he come back even better or is this too tough a spot off the bench for a new trainer?
Will he be so sharp off he layoff that they go at it so hard they set it up for someone else? There are some other very good up and coming sprinters in that field.
I’m not sure it’s the best betting race unless you are going to try to beat both, but it’s a great race.
