  • Hot Rod Charlie Finds Another Gear in Louisiana
    SUNDAY, MARCH 21, 2021 HOT ROD CHARLIE UNBEATEN LIFE IS GOOD TO MISS RUNHAPPY SANTA ANITA DERBY FINDS ANOTHER GEAR by Bill Finley Unbeaten star 3-year-old and 'TDN Rising Star' Life Is Good IN LOUISIANA DERBY (Into Mischief) came out of a workout Saturday at Santa Anita with what appears to be a minor problem, one that will keep him from starting in the GI Runhappy Santa Anita Derby. According to Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert, the horse was off in his left hind leg. Baffert said it was too early to tell if Life Is Good could still make the GI Kentucky Derby. But Elliott Walden, the president and CEO of WinStar Farm, the co-owners of the horse, told horseracingnation.com that Life Is Good would be "out for a few months." If that turns out to be the case, he will not make the Derby. In the last round of betting in the Derby Future wager, Life Is Good was the 2-1 favorite.
