Get Racing Dudes Premium Owned by CHC Inc. and WinStar Farm, the son of leading sire Into Mischief recorded his 4-furlong move in 48.46 seconds over a fast main track – the 17th-fastest of 132 recorded works at the distance. This was a second work back for Life Is Good following a game runner-up effort in the H. Allen Jerkens Memorial (G1), where he engaged in a dramatic stretch duel with Jackie’s Warrior before coming up a neck shy of victory. “I thought he worked super,” Pletcher said. “I was really pleased with the way he went and it looked like he was moving along there really well.” Jackie’s Warrior Outduels Life Is Good In H. Allen Jerkens Thriller Unbeaten in his previous 3 efforts, which include victories in the Sham (G3) and the San Felipe (G2) at Santa Anita this winter, Life Is Good will see an increase in ground from the 7-furlong H. Allen Jerkens. “I think it’s a good progression for him coming off the layoff and the 1 race,” Pletcher said. While no year-end goal has been announced, a pair of early November Breeders’ Cup races – the Dirt Mile (G1) and the 1 1/4-mile Classic (G1) – are reportedly under consideration, as is the 7-furlong Malibu Stakes (G1) at Santa Anita Park on December 26.
