I'll assume it was his BC as a 4YO.....and not watch. I still remember poor Jimmy Croll being interviewed leading the horse back after the race. He was such a wonderful horse that it was especially sad for things to end that way for him.

I'm actually glad I brought him up, as probably no horse in recent history properly exposes Lost in the Fog more fairly than Housebuster. While Lost in the Fog was a very nice horse, and story, and he certainly ran decently on a very consistent basis, he was nowhere close to the talent that Housebuster was....or what people with no perspective think he was. His tragic end does not change what he was on the racetrack.
