Mike Welsch was pretty impressed over the workout by Lookin At Lucky on Wednesday. "A very good work; maybe not the blowaway type.....like Street Sense or Barbaro, but just what you'd like to see," he explained on his video report. The Daily Racing Form's clocker guy was particularly taken...Read More
Lookin at Lucky is the Juvenile Champion of 2009. He has won six of seven starts with only a narrow defeat in a tough trip BC Juvenile. His return to the races in last month’s Rebel Stakes was a top shelf performance. Clearly he is a racehorse who has earned respect. He may or may not be...Read More

Life Is Sweet, winner of the 2009 Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic (G1) and stablemate of undefeated champion Zenyatta, was retired on Saturday after she developed stomach cramps following a workout at Hollywood Park, the Daily Racing Form reports.Read More
  • Medlocke · Really ironic. That's how the "Sport of King's" plays out sometimes. After John Shirreffs saddle's both the 2009 Breeders Cup Ladies Classic champion in Life is Sweet, and the Breeders Cup Classic champion in Zenyatta, everyone is lead to believe that Zenyatta will be retired, and Life is Sweet will, at that point, become the #1 filly/mare, if not horse period, in John Shirreffs racing stable. Now, on the day that Zenyatta is set to return to the track, Life is Sweet is set for retirement. IMO, Life is Sweet was a very high quality filly that was more than capable of holding her own, and showed that, against Zenyatta, and the best of the best fillies in racing by winning the 2009 Breeders Cup Ladies Classic. Also, ran a great 3rd against the colt's in the 2009 Hollywood Gold Cup. It really is another, not only quality filly, but quality horse lost to the track. Your racing ability will be sorely missed. All the best to Life is Sweet in retirement. May her breeding successes go on to equal her racing successes. · 696 days ago ·
