Lost Mountain went on a tear after the Derby. I think he won the Peter Pan, Dwyer, and Haskell all at good odds. Might have run only a couple of times at 4, so the tough campaign must have taken its toll. I think he ran in the BC Juvenile as a maiden, and in either the Champagne or some maiden race he clipped heels and fell. That was back when Loblloly was good for one or two top 3yos every spring.
