Life Is Sweet has won the $2 million Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic, going from last to first with a stretch run on the far outside.

The 4-year-old filly is the stablemate of defending champion Zenyatta, who skipped the race to run in Saturday's $5 million Classic against the boys.

Both horses are trained by John Shirreffs.

Ridden by Garrett Gomez, Life Is Sweet ran 1 1-8 miles in 1:48.58 and paid $18.20, $8 and $5 at 8-1 odds. She was the fourth longshot to win Friday at Santa Anita.

Mushka returned $12.80 and $6.40, while Music Note was another length back in third and paid $3.20 to show. Careless Jewel, the 9-5 wagering favorite, romped to the early lead before fading to last in the field of eight.
