Life Is Good 4/5 is 2-for-2 and went door-to-door in both and is ridden by Big Money Mike. I think he'll go off between 3/2 to 5/2 and the reason is ----
Medina Spirit 7/2 matched up with Life in the G2 Sham in Jan. Spirit ran 3 to 4 lengths behind Life before making a move after the stretch call and closed to about half a length. I wonder what would happened if he had tries to run closer with him after the far turn?
The Great One 4/1 (Jacky Gleason, not the Bobtail) did not look like a stakes horse in is first three races as a 2 year old but in his last race as a 2 year old and still a maiden O'Neill enters him into the G2 LosAl Futurity where he bolts out of the gate and leads to within 3 steps to the wire at 33/1. His first race as a 3 year old is a maiden in which he clears the field by 14 lengths. I think 4/1 is a good bet.
None Above The Law 30/1 Looking at his 2 year old grade report card he gets a “D”. The Principal must have had a talk with the boy because his first race as a 3 year old was the 200k CalCupDerby where he vied with the leader, took the lead at the stretch call but started to falter and held on for the Place. This time he gets a high 25% jockey Hey, anything can happen!

I posted a video (Another...Great Conversation) where Jonathan Stettin made an interesting observation about Life is Good and Baffert (in relation to that Life/Medina race) A tidbit to consider.

I like Medina Spirit and Roman Centurian to make the Derby gate, so hoping one of them wins/places in this.

Roman Centurian is the one I really want to watch. Life Is Good will be 2/5 but I’ll pass and move on if he beats me. Actually let the buzz build as he would be a complete toss for me at 1 1/4 in the Derby.

Well, my goodness, that was certainly definitive. He skipped like a stone on a still pond...
Life is Good.

Let the hype build. Something amiss as he didn’t run straight and was drifting through the lane. I am just not convinced after this at all.
