Woodward Stakes 2022 Runners | Life Is Good To Be Too Good - originally posted on Sportslens.com

The Woodward Stakes 2022, this Saturday at Belmont Park, is likely to be dominated by the prolific winner LIFE IS GOOD, who will only face a handful of rivals and so it will be a shock if the 8-time winner isn’t collecting another gold medal and then heading to the Breeders’ Cup.

Life Is Good Likely To Be Too Good In 2022 Woodward Stakes

LIFE IS GOOD has certainly lived up to his name so far during his 10-race career – winning 8 races and amassing just over $4m in career earnings in the process.

The Todd Pletcher-trained 4 year-old will be all the rage to add to those winnings this Saturday in the Grade One Woodward Stakes at Belmont, where he’s likely to face only a handful of rivals.

This versatile colt, who picked up the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile last season, has won over 7f and 1m1f this season and was last seen winning the Grade One Whitney Stakes at Saratoga on Aug 6 by an easy 2 lengths (watch below).

Before that win he landed the Grade 2 John A Nerud Stakes at Belmont over 7f and has also been a fine fourth in the Dubai World Cup at Meydan back in March.

Todd Pletcher Has Won The Woodward Stakes Three Times

Life Is Good will also be in good hands in terms of his trainer when it comes to the Woodward Stakes. The Pletcher barn have won this prize three times over the years.

The first win for Todd Pletcher came in 2007 with Lawyer Ron and the next in 2010 with Quality Road – both were ridden by John Velazquez. His most-recent Woodward success came in 2015 with the Javier Castellano-ridden Liam’s Map.

Life Is Good Is Unbeaten At Belmont Park

The bad news for Life Is Good’s rivals ahead of Saturday’s Woodward Stakes is that he’s yet to taste defeat at Belmont Park.

The Todd Pletcher runner has raced at the New York track twice and won both times – taking the already mentioned John A Nerud in July this year and also the Kelso Handicap last September.

Where Next For Life Is Good?

Life Is Good has now won three Grade One races and one of those was the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile last season at Del Mar. We can expect the Pletcher runner to be off to the Breeders’ Cup again after this Saturday’s Woodward Stakes.

His likely target at the 2022 Breeders’ Cup will be the Classic on Nov 5, where Life Is Good is priced @ 8/1 with Bovada and will set up a fascinating clash with the wonder horse in the making Flightline, who is @ 1/2 with Bovada.

Life Is Good Career In Numbers
Runs: 10

Top Three Finishes: 9
Grade One Wins: 3
Career Earnings: $4,086,700
