The ill-fated Egg Head can't get to equally tragic Lost in the Fog in the '05 Riva Ridge. Cannot believe this was 8 years ago.

Fun race. Lost In The Fog was a phenomenally good early season 3yo sprinter. It's VERY rare that a horse wins the King's Bishop and you feel like he's lost a few steps from his early season form.

Egg Head was by Honor Grades (half bro to A. P. Indy) and was an unusually good sprinter for a sire who normally gets routers.

Same type of thing with Chief J Strongbow (Chief Honcho) as well.

Missy Turtle, the dam of the Dunkirk 2yo above, she won her debut by 5+ lengths going 5.5 furlongs at 20/1 odds. Still, didn't expect to see any Dunkirk's emerge from the sales as obvious potential debut winners.

Lost in the Fog was my top two favorite horses in the past decade. A combination of brilliant speed and stamina!

I never felt like he received the recognition he should have, tragic end.
