Both Charlatan and Gamine were disqualified for failing multiple post-race drug tests in 2020, including Charlatan’s victory in the Arkansas Derby (G1). Life Is Good off Derby Trail, Back by Breeders’ Cup Life Is Good was favored to win the May 1 Kentucky Derby (G1) before a small chip in his left hind ankle was detected following a workout on March 20, forcing him to miss the race and necessitating surgery by Dr. Larry Bramlage at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky 2 days ago. “The surgery went well,” Baffert said. “I received great reports on it. It was minor, so that was good and he should be back (racing) a lot sooner than we thought he would.” Full Card Plays Now Available There’s a reason we’re the #1 trusted source for premium racing picks & info.
