The Controversy surrounding these races and LITF just keeps growing. Yesterday on TVG announcer Todd Schrupp virtually accused the DRF staff of calling the horse a "dog". In a article on DRF.com writer Mike Watchmaker called LITF a well-managed three year old sprinter and nothing more.

I get the sense several members of the media are suffering from a serious case of indigestion when it comes to calling the next horse they see one of the all-time greats. All having been badly burned when they rushed to eat a rather large chunk of the cheese Stronach/Frankel and Co. so visibly placed in the "Greatest Horse of All-time" hype trap in regards to Ghostzapper. This is the same Ghostzapper who only ran eleven times in four years and most of the spots he picked were in some serious need of Levitra.

This is unfortunate for LITF who has danced every dance: Golden Gate, Gulfstream, Aqueduct, Belmont, Calder and taken on all comers who dared show up. However the "Greatest Horse of All-Time Card" can only be played so often or soon the fans begin to cry wolf. And keeping in the theme of the "World Championship Poker Tournament" currently being played it had to be difficult for most members of the media who said, "I'm all in, Hit Me". Only to see when the card was turned over it was the Joker and had the faces of two men wearing jester hats both whom had a striking resemblance to Frank Stronach and Bobby Frankel.

This might be the most difficult competition Lost in the Fog faces all year.
