Disco Time Back To Winning Ways at Belmont

---

Juddmonte’s Disco Time (Not This Time) snapped a baby three-race skid in a classy Belmont allowance heat Wednesday afternoon, his first appearance since finishing down the field in the GI Churchill Downs Stakes on Kentucky Derby day May 2.

The homebred colt rattled off five wins on the trot to begin his career, taking out the 2025 GIII Lecomte Stakes and–following an eight-month hiatus–the valuable St. Louis Derby last September and the Nov. 8 Dwyer Stakes. Eighth as the favorite in the GI Pegasus World Cup Jan. 28, he could do no better than second at 2-5 in Tampa’s GIII Challenger Stakes Mar. 7 and was never truly involved when last seen behind GI Breeders’ Cup Sprint aspirant T O Elvis (Volatile) beneath the Twin Spires five-plus months ago.

Facing three other black-type winners here at 82 cents on the dollar, Disco Time was scrubbed along early after making contact with the gate, but slid through at the fence to make the running through an opening quarter in :22.60. Firmly in front approaching the stretch, the burly dark bay was mostly under hand urging from Manny Franco to prove a comfortable winner.

A four-time stakes winner and third in the GII Honorable Miss Handicap, Pennsylvania-bred Disco Chick is also represented by a yearling Yaupon filly that sold to Lindy Farms for $200,000 at last month’s Keeneland September Sale and a weanling filly by Justify. She is due to Gun Runner for her 2027 produce.

6th-Belmont, $106,700, Alw (C), Opt. Clm ($110,000), 10-14, 3yo/up, 6 1/2f, 1:14.72, ft, 3 3/4 lengths.

Life Is Good Anchors WinStar Roster at $125,000 for 2027

---

Life Is Good will head the WinStar stallion roster in 2027 at a fee of $125,000, up from $60,000 in 2026.

The GI Hopeful Stakes winner The Good Life has made his sire the only top-five North American freshman sire represented by a Grade I winner this year. Life Is Good was also the fastest first-crop sire to produce five ‘TDN Rising Stars, presented by Hagyard’, joining studmate Constitution and Europe’s Kingman (GB) as the only freshman sires to achieve that milestone with their first crop of 2-year-olds.

Perennial leading sire Constitution, whose top performers this year include recent GI Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity winner American History, will stand for $110,000 in 2027.

In addition, WinStar will welcome recently retired GI Florida Derby winner Tappan Street–like Life Is Good, a son of Into Mischief–to the breeding shed in 2027. The only horse to beat Sovereignty (Into Mischief) during his Horse of the Year campaign in 2025, Tappan Street will stand his first season for $15,000.

“We’re so excited to announce our 2027 roster led by Life Is Good and Constitution,” said WinStar’s Director of Bloodstock Services Liam O’Rourke. “The incredible start for Life Is Good has only strengthened our optimism that he can reach the top echelons of the stallion ranks.

“Constitution has had another tremendous year with Grade I winner American History among many graded stakes horses. Tappan Street is an elite son of Into Mischief who is getting rave reviews from breeders.

“We believe there is strength, value, and excitement at all points of our roster and our team looks forward to working with breeders across the country this year.”

The complete 2027 WinStar Farm roster with fees, all stands and nurses, follows:

Life Is Good – $125,000

Constitution – $110,000

Patch Adams – $25,000

Cogburn – $20,000

Tappan Street – $15,000 *New
