  Belmont Park, Race 5, Msw, 53,000, 2yo, f, 1 1/16mT, 1:41 2/5, fm

  Life Is Sweet, F, 2, by Storm Cat

1st Dam: Sweet Life (SW & GISP, $223,486), by Kris S.

2nd Dam: Symbolically, by Flying Paster

3rd Dam: Hail to the Queen, by Natively Royalty

Life Is Sweet was well-beaten in eighth in her career bow going 5 1/2 panels on the dirt at Saratoga Aug. 30, but was given a much better chance at 9-5 to find the winner's circle in her route and turf debut. Content to track a crisp opening quarter of :22.83, the full sister to Sweet Catomine, Ch. 2yo Filly, MGISW, $1,059,600, cruised to the front in effortless fashion turning for home and galloped off to win by an eye-catching nine-length margin over Tessitura (Unbridled's Song). Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $32,110.
