00:00The Fastest Horse of the Week brought to you by the Fast Sires at Windstar Farm.
00:04We have told you many times, as if we needed to tell you, because you already know how fast Life
00:10is Good was as a racehorse.
00:12Well, now the early returns are coming in, and it looks like Life is Good is passing on his speed
00:17and precocity to his first crop progeny.
00:21Witness a maiden race at Churchill Downs on Sunday, won by a horse named Hay Tough Guy, son of Life
00:28is Good.
00:28An eight-length winner at 3-5 odds for trainer Brian Lynch.
00:33Hay Tough Guy became Life is Good's third winner in his first TD in Rising Star.
00:38Among those three winners was also Wagley, who won the Kentucky Juvenile Stakes at Churchill Downs, making Life is Good
00:47the only first crop North American sire with a stakes winner.
00:51Of course, he is Into Mischief's fastest son at stud, thanks to his 112 buyer speed figure.
00:56And Life is Good stands at Windstar for a fee of $60,000.
