I'm running out of space.

I think my list needs a revision.

Dubai Millennium Won 2 G1s and a G2 at 3.

And absolutely cruised home in all.

Thanks for that video link. I will never forget what he did to Sendawar.

Europes Champion Miler, couldnt lay a glove on him.

Who remembers that Sendawar went off the favorite?

This is what the great ones look like when they are asked to run.

Has to be on that list.

I agree.

That horse just skipped over the ground when he ran. It looked like he was running on air and never really exerting himself.

Greg Gilchrist has an incredible filly right now. She was my favorite HIP # from Fasig Tipton Calder sale last year. Something fairly significant showed up on her x-rays though. She had two incredible races last year, and then must have gotten injured. I hope she makes it back to the track. One to watch if she comes back. Her name is Indyanne.

A filly named High Resolve is in his barn right now as well, and she is undefeated. 5 for 5 so far. They are really spotting her right. She's pretty nice too, but I don't think she is nearly as talented as Indyanne.

I am probably the biggest Lost in the Fog fan in the world. He was my favorite horse and what drew me into horse racing. I was there for his debut at GGF and have been amazed ever since. He was a remarkable horse that possessed the unfair combination of talent and heart.

The competition that he faced wasn't as bad as most say. He just made them look bad.

His career was short but dynamic. The 48,000 purchase had a 109 beyer as a 2 year old, won his first 10 races, dominated the competition in the Carry Back (116 beyer) a full second faster than those running in the Smile. When his body was full of cancer, he posted a 112 beyer in winning the Aristides against Golden Shaheen winner Kelly's Landing. "He probably had it the last three or four times he ran," Gilchrist said. "There were 100 pounds of tumors in that horse when they did the autopsy on him."

In regards to his Breeders Cup loss, Aleo believes Lost In The Fog may have been exposed to something harmful at Belmont Park that ignited the cancer before he ran in the Breeders' Cup.

"I'm sure it happened back there," he said. "Two stalls from him, there was a champion filly from Canada that ran bad the same day. And she died a month before The Fog with the same cancer. There was some rumor that they sprayed for rats or something, but I know he wasn't right that day, and so did Greg. He lunged out at me, and he never did that before. He put a bruise on my chest a foot in diameter. That's one of the symptoms of a sick horse"

I am not willing to say he was one of the best 3 year olds of the past 20 years because I don't have the same historical perspective as other, but he was a remarkable horse that could possibly have been one of the all time greats if he was allowed to prove it.

For a great article: http://www.sfweekly.com/2005-10-26/n...comes-the-fog/

This is some pretty ridiculous and irresponsible garbage.

I know he just misses the year range but there were few 3 year olds that were as good as this one

You have to admit thats a mighty big coincidence that a horse two stall away from him died from the same cancer that only about 3 in a 1000 horses get.

What was the horse's name? Where is the report that backs this up? Were they the only two affected? What other possible reasons could Lost in the Fog have developed cancer?

I could go on and on. The owner gets slack because he's elderly.....but that doesn't mean it isn't BS and irresponsible. I don't believe one word of it.

I did some research just for the last 15 minutes. The fillys name is Knights Templar.

"one trainer i work for (danny vella) trained a filly named Knights Templar... this filly was the 2yo filly of the year in canada last year and went to the breeders cup. while stabled for the breeders cup she was right beside lost in the fog..... and she was euthanized a few weeks ago for the exact same type of cancer. "

http://equination.net/forum/viewtopi...1d865cff521363

That certainly backs Aleo up.
