"Just a very somber and upsetting story all around. It's alot like hearing a close friend or loved one has contracted cancer in some form. You just don't expect it, or think it couldn't happen to that person (or yourself). It's a parallel reminder of how fragile life is for both man and animal."
Hits the nail on the head for me. I dont know if any of you remember the pictures I posted when I went to see him in Ocala in Novemeber and to Calder in July. To follow a horse through his career and for this to happen......well I'm sure you all know how I feel.

I'm glad they're sending him back to his stall and his groom for the end of his life. At least he'll spend his last days surrounded by the people who love him.

This turn of events is very tough to take and so sad. There has been so much bad news this year, words are failing me. This guy was a brave, stellar performer that deserved a better fate than this. My thoughts are with the people who raised, trained, and cared for Lost In The Fog.

This horse gave me an enormous amount of pleasure watching him run. What a freakish fate he had been dealt. I dont know how the heck to thank a horse or the connections for giving me the thrill of watching him perform. What a hell of a runner.

How about a salute to the imbeciles that have bashed him. ****ing horse wins in 1:08 and change with cancer this year. Incredible.

Everybody's said what can be said...but LITF is part of the reason I hang around the board now. Without a horse from my original hometown to cheer for, I don't think I would have started reading up on racing again. Crushed, devastated...I hope he has a great final week or two. What a shame.

When Lost in the Fog was undefeated his owner turned down some very big offers for the horse. He said he was in the game to race and now that I have a real good one I'm having the time of my life. This sport has extreme highs and the lowest of lows.
