LITF's Cancer

[Danzig]

he was my favorite horse on the track last year. just knew that guy was going to win the bc sprint and prove himself the best. of course we know that didn't happen, and a lot of people really bashed him for his loss--his first loss.
and again, much like when afleet alex lost his race and we were told it was due to illness, the naysayers wouldn't be silenced, wouldn't give that guy the benefit of the doubt--and wouldn't give it to fog either after his loss. maybe people won't be quite so quick to judge a horse when they have an off day.
lost in the fog was as tough a horse as they come...he was a throwback to horses from years ago, travelled back and forth across the country and ran at how many different tracks?? certainly wasn't a pampered hot-house flower!!
hopefully he'll be appreciated for the game toughness he showed on and off the track. i know i enjoyed every one of his races.
