If Lost Code were running nowadays, he'd be celebrated as one of the greatest horses ever.

Probably my second favorite horse. I saw him win his first "big" race, the Alabama Derby, in person.

Yeah, I loved that horse too. I've always liked horses with that running style.

The Alabama Derby though? Never even heard of it!

I suppose I have heard of it since Lost Code won it, but I have no recollection of that race at all.

It was run at the short lived Birmingham track. It was even broadcast on ESPN. I remember hanging out after with Chris Lincoln. He was HUGE back then.

He spoke like he was oxygen deprived too.

He'd slur his speech at random points while talking.
