Saratoga's Hopeful Stakes Finds Its Name in The Good Life

The Good Life closed out the summer meet at Saratoga with a dominant victory in the Hopeful Stakes, leaving little doubt about the result down the stretch. The win came at one of the sport's oldest and most storied venues, where late-August stakes races carry weight beyond the purse. For a horse to romp home in a race with the Hopeful's pedigree is the kind of form that turf watchers note and remember.
