When Life Is Good was good, he was really, really good. A sight to behold in full flight, the 2021 Dirt Mile winner inspired breeders to send him a first book containing 25 Grade I winners and/or producers, as well as 70 graded winners and/or producers. Life Is Good's first foals will arrive in 2024.

“We are extremely excited for Life Is Good's foals coming next year,” said Elliott Walden, WinStar Farm's president/CEO and racing manager. “We have never had a stallion that was so well received.”
