Those were two very good races. I don't think it's fair to say that Housebuster ran several races as a 3yo that DWARFED anything Fog ever did. You point out the 113 and 117 figures. Fog did earn a 116 and a 114. That's right there with Housebuster. I also give Fog extra credit for the ambitious traveling schedule he was on. I've heard you talk about the effects of constantly shipping and Fog criss-crossed the country 13 times that year and still nearly held up to the end. I'd also like to see what kind of weight assignments Housebuster had in those races and how much he was giving to his competition.
