Good for her, after that long arduous career.......

Living The Life has been retired and will not run in the Breeders' Cup F&M Sprint, according to trainer Gary Mandella.

[Senator L]

this race is void of front runners

It's void of anything that would lead me to understand why they placed it so high in the race order "ranking"...

[Senator L]

should have at least switched places with the turf sprint

It's probably Haveyougoneaway or the highway for me, but I might box her up with Finest City (who has some sneaky form under these conditions, but a poor record at this track) and Gloryzapper who is the "now" local horse. I have a mild opinion only here...
