In the wake of Lost in the Fog's ninth-place finish Saturday in the Grade 2 Smile Sprint at Calder, trainer Greg Gilchrist said that he and owner Harry Aleo are giving thought to retiring the colt.

From my post on page 2 of this thread on Saturday, July 15 at 11:31pm ...

"Not gonna be a 'next out' ... they'll retire him while they still can round up some gullible investors to form a stallion syndicate. If they run him again ... they won't be able to con anyone. Look for the staged 'bone chips ... best interest of the horse' press conference by next week."

And from my post on page 3, Saturday, 11:52pm ...

"Lost Like A Fraud 'won' an Eclipse Award ... and he's from the Danzig branch of the Northern Dancer line ... and he's got Secretariat, Ribot, and Native Dancer in his pedigree ... that's enough to sweet-talk some eager, wealthy investors into buying into a syndicate. It won't be a $100 million dollar syndicate ... but if you can get $5 million or even $3 million ... that's a heckuva lot more than this fraud will ever win in ungraded stakes races at Golden Gate. Dontcha think? Yeah ... it'll be 'bone chips' and 'for the good of the horse' ... any day now."

I can see through these people like a laser beam through tissue paper. At least they're being a little more honest about it than Lying-Through-My-Nose-Tubes "Chappy" was with Smarty Jones ... and I applaud them for that.
