00:05And they don't get much faster, of course, than Life is Good.
00:08His two-year-olds are now getting ready to hit the sales.
00:12In fact, 12 of them will be at the OBS March sale in just two weeks.
00:18Here are some of the savvy buyers that have been smart enough to snap up some of the first progeny
00:25there for Life is Good.
00:27And they expect life is about to get very good for these two-year-olds in just a couple of
00:32months when they hit the track.
00:34Life is Good, of course, is Into Mischief's fastest son at Stud, based on buyer speed figures.
00:40Nine triple-digit buyers topped by a 112.
00:43And Life is Good, of course, stands at Windstar Farm for a fee of $60,000.
00:49And you don't hear this very often.
00:51The fastest horse of the week comes to us from Fat Tuesday in New Orleans.
00:56On Tuesday, the 17th at the fairgrounds, the Mardi Gras Stakes, five-and-a-half furlong turf sprint for fillies
01:01and mares,
01:02won by a future star, maybe a current star.
01:05Her name is Shining Star.
01:06She's bred in Chile, owned and bred by the Samaya U.S. Stable.
01:10She began her career in Chile, ran one race on dirt in California, was sent back east to trainer Brad
01:15Cox.
01:16He moved her to grass.
01:17And since then, she is a perfect three-for-three.
01:20The Mardi Gras was her very first stakes start.
01:22She won drawing away by four-and-a-quarter lengths in Shining Star.
01:26Got a buyer speed figure of 103, her career best, and it makes her the fastest horse of the week.
