I live in the SF Bay Area. I have seen this horse run locally and via sattelite. Awe inspiring for sure. The best thing about the story is the management of the animal.

Trainer Ghilcrest is very carefully spotting his races. In this morning's SF Chronicle (which seldom does features on horses) there were three stories devoted to LITF and even a full column from Scott Ostler. A documentarian has secured millions in funding to film a feature-length documetary film on the story of Lost in the Fog and his connections, namely 85 year old owner Harry Aileo.

The Chronicle reports that LITF's next start will be in the Riva Ridge at Belmont on June 11th. The next target is the Grade 1 King's Bishop Aug. 27th at Spa. As for the Breeder's Cup, that's an option, but Ghilcrest also states they will campaign the horse as a 4 year old next year, so they're "not in a hurry to get caught up in any Breeder's Cup Hype."

Why in the world would they stretch this horse out? Carefully spotted graded sprints throughout the year are what they want and what they will do. Imagine that...a sensible owner, a sensible trainer and a well planned campaign to keep the horse fresh and fit.

Meanwhile, the rich and powerful and juiced, are tripping over themselves for a chance to ruin their steeds on NBC Television.

Lost in the Fog - A breath of fresh air!!!!
