I am very sad right now... Bay Meadows and Golden Gate Fields are my home tracks and I have watched Fog work and run races... I have never seen a horse run so smoothly and look like he was "on cruise control" when he was running 5f in:58... I remeber one race day at GGF when they had Fog work in between races - people stopped what they were doing - as if the national anthem was playing - and watched in awe as Russell sat on his back for a little 5f work... I remember the gasp that came from the crowd when they anounced his time - Lost in the Fog was our rock star in Northern California and we appreciated him.
I'm wearing my Lost in the Fog hat from GGF and my Lost in the Fog t-shirt from BM right now and I'm not sure when I'm going to take them off.
I miss the Fog.
