Pedigree fun facts: Life Is Good
Jan 05, 2021 Kellie Reilly/Brisnet.com
Fresh off establishing a new single-season progeny earnings record for a North American sire, Into Mischief could be in line for an even greater achievement in 2021. No stallion has sired back-to-back Kentucky Derby (G1) winners, so if Life Is Good – or another 3-year-old by Into Mischief – can follow up on Authentic’s success at Churchill Downs last year, it would be an unprecedented feat.
Third in that same Derby was Into Mischief’s son Audible, who became his first offspring to place in a Triple Crown race. His progeny had been making a splash in Derby preps from the start. Into Mischief’s first-crop representatives Goldencents and Vyjack both competed in the 2013 Derby, and Vicar’s in Trouble flew the flag in 2014, but their stamina limitations became evident.
Funny Cide is from a Seattle Slew-line mare, a cross that has continued to be productive for Distorted Humor. Other examples include Alternation (sire of Serengeti Empress) and Any Given Saturday.
