00:00It's life is good!
00:03We do get attached to them because when they come to us they're quite young.
00:06Life is good!
00:07You hope that you've taught them properly and given them a good start.
00:21Life is Good came to us straight from the September sales.
00:24And I remember when he came off the van he was a real sweetheart straight away.
00:31He always wanted to know what we wanted him to do.
00:35All the girls liked him because he let them kiss him.
00:39He was as pretty of a profiled horse as you can want to look at.
00:45It was very easy for him from step one.
00:49He was a very forward horse.
00:50We were always a little worried about him getting too forward too fast.
00:56We followed him all but once he broke his maiden first time out then we really followed him.
01:01Life is good!
01:04Really, really, really good!
01:07Oh my!
01:09I think my favorite race was when he was second to Jackie's Warrior.
01:12He showed a lot of guts in that race.
01:15I think the Breeders' Cup Mile is my favorite.
01:17Just runs away from everybody and he just looks like he's going fast the whole time for a mile.
01:21And it's just unbelievable.
01:23I love the Breeders' Cup.
01:25I remember watching that and that was so exciting.
01:28It's a big thing to have a Breeders' Cup winner.
01:31Big, big thing.
01:32Life is Good's personality is pretty straight forward.
01:35You know what you get every day.
01:37When he goes to Breeders' Cup or wherever, he's just like, yeah, let's do it.
01:41Let's go.
01:41And when he goes out to be ridden, he's yeah.
01:44He's a very, very smart horse.
01:46People say, yeah, yeah, horses, they're smart.
01:49But no, he's very smart.
01:52He always tries to be in the top.
01:54But we need to show him who's under control.
01:58But he always wanted to have the control.
02:01He's just got a really good mind, but he's got a lot of energy.
02:04He's happy and I'm happy with him and happy with the results so far.
02:09We've been lucky enough to have several Life is Good progeny in the barn.
02:14And for me, seeing the progeny of horses that we've had here is a big, big achievement for us at
02:21the farm.
02:22I always remember when the good life came, he'd just like pee in a pod to his dad.
02:27Exactly the same.
02:28You see a little bit of a likeness in them as they're running.
02:32Like we just had the one life song win last weekend.
02:35And it just kind of looked like him going down the stretch.
02:38He's special for me because I take care of him.
02:41It's not just him, it's all the horses.
02:45And you just think, how can I take care of this horse?
02:48You don't worry about how much they're worth.
02:50But every now and then it's like, you go, wow, he's a big deal.
02:56It's a big thing for me because I know how much it takes to get the horse from here to
03:01there.
03:01And to know that I was a very small part to start them off.
03:04Big thrill for me and I'm very lucky to be able to do it and be around such wonderful horses.
03:09Big thrill for me and be with me and I'm happy to have fun at!
03:09andtes it with me at the top of my head,
