Lost in the Fog is forgotten but he ran some really fast races. He may have been sub-1:07 twice. Olympic Prospect was another pretty fast one. At his best, Artax deserves a mention. He should have been horse of the year in 1999.

King Glorious's sprint that he won in the mud by like 20 was one of the great performances of that era.
I know he beat crap, but still. That was awesome.
