Lost in the Fog and Northern California Racing

[DerbyCat]

GREAT article in Blood Horse (http://news.bloodhorse.com/viewstory.asp?id=35485)... I fell in love with racing at Bay Meadows and Golden Gate Fields, yet I was always told that the "real" racing takes place on the East Coast and that West Coast horses just can't compare to the mighty thoroughbreds of the East... That may be true in some instances, but my reply is, we had Lost in the Fog. He was "our" horse at those little tracks in northern California, and he was a great horse who was owned and trained by two great men who believe in northern California racing.

I still miss this horse... I have a picture of him in my office at work and when people ask about my "horse picture", I say, "I loved that horse. That's Lost in the Fog... one fastest horses horses I've ever seen in my life. He made running fast look easy."

I hope you enjoy the article.


p.s. I LOVE that the track under my name right now is Golden Gate Fields
