Rollo,

I loved Yonder.. I mean LOVED. There was a booth at Belmont one Stakes Weekend where they would embroider a horse name over a bay, grey, etc. runner, and I made a Yonder hat. Still have it. I saw him win the Remsen at 2 and I'm sure I thought at the time he was going to be the Derby winner. He ended up 5th in the Belmont I think...

He was actually a stiff that was never as good as he might have been as a son of Slew. He's a sire in Korea or the Phillipines or somewhere. His first four broodmare sires were Forli, Round Table, Hail to Reason and Stymie (!).

Another one like Yonder that I was crazy for was the enigmatic Lost Mountain... Saw him win the Haskell but had been crazy about him as a classic horse earlier. He was pretty good.. Won a few other stakes besides the Haskell, but was 15th or so in Strike the Gold's Derby and maybe 8th in Hansel's Belmont.

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.
