But I've gotta say, I did of all those feel most personally connected to Lost in the Fog.
Now all that said, for the occasional sad story I just remind myself that somewhere every day there's likely a horse winning a race with a story that feels good with regard to the horse or connections.
And if that doesn't work I just remember I always feel good to have handicapped a nice winner while holding a nice ticket.

While they are all very awesome, Alysheba is one horse I really wish I had seen in person.
