Echo everything already said and add that he was underappreciated. More shots taken against this horse than he ever should have gotten. Ran a full campaign, ran fast every race and really had a big heart down the lane. Sucks to lose them.

Default Sad Day for Bay Area and LITF connections

I was deeply saddened to hear that Lost In The Fog was put down...
For those of us in the San Francisco Bay Area he was definitely a horse that we rooted for as Aleo/Gilchrest/R. Baze travelled across the country and ran in some of the most highly rated sprint stakes.

It was with great pride when he went to Belmont and Saratoga last year and won those races... For those of us in the Bay Area, racing is very much minor leagues with Bay Meadows and Golden Gate Fields on par with the C level type of tracks.... Therefore, it is not often that we get a horse that competes on the national level. Hollendorfer sometimes will ship out and win but LITF was something special....

All of my best to the connections and RIP LITF.

This sucks. I loved the horse and loved the way the connections stood with him.

It's nice to be able to come to a thread like this, where people who feel as lousy as you do can grieve together.
