Saratoga Maidens, Presented by KeenelandThe Good Life (c, 2, Life Is Good–First Hour, by Speightstown) shot out to the front and dominated a talented-looking bunch on debut at the Spa Saturday to become the third 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' for his freshman sire.Off at odds of 3-1, The Good Life was hustled to the front from his inside draw by Manny Franco and led through an opening quarter in :22.92. He began to let it out a notch approaching the quarter pole and drew clear in the stretch to win by four good-looking lengths.Highly regarded $1.8-million Fasig-Tipton Saratoga graduate Powerline (Flightline) encountered some trouble in the early going and also got slammed into in the stretch to finish an unlucky second.The final time for six furlongs was 1:11.14.Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0.O-WinStar Farm LLC, First Go Racing and CHC, Inc.; B-WinStar Farm, LLC; T-Brad H.
