It's not easy to live in Life Is Good's shadow, but his half-brother has been eking out a name for himself one photo finish at a time, and his most recent exploits had him in view all alone at the line. It was a battle down the lane, but Most Wanted (Candy Ride {Arg}--Beach Walk, by Distorted Humor) would not be denied en route to securing his first graded black-type in the GIII Oklahoma Derby. Undefeated in his career by a grand total of less than two lengths, the West...

The class of the field with a...
