How'd you figure that out? I think I've mentioned this horse to you a bunch of times over the years but never could figure out his name.

I loved Yonder.. I mean LOVED. There was a booth at Belmont one Stakes Weekend where they would embroider a horse name over a bay, grey, etc. runner, and I made a Yonder hat. Still have it. I saw him win the Remsen at 2 and I'm sure I thought at the time he was going to be the Derby winner. He ended up 5th in the Belmont I think... He was actually a stiff that was never as good as he might have been as a son of Slew. He's a sire in Korea or the Phillipines or somewhere. His first four broodmare sires were Forli, Round Table, Hail to Reason and Stymie (!). Another one like Yonder that I was crazy for was the enigmatic Lost Mountain... Saw him win the Haskell but had been crazy about him as a classic horse earlier. He was pretty good.. Won a few other stakes besides the Haskell, but was 15th or so in Strike the Gold's Derby and maybe 8th in Hansel's Belmont.

Funny, when I saw there was a Lost in the Fog movie, I said " Lost in the Fog? He wasn't that good. "

Paul Mellon was a great friend to racing. He donated the Sea Hero statue and it was put up, most likely, as a tribute to him. Call me crazy but I think he has earned the right. Perhaps after another forty years of Carolina Barbecue, with both Steve and Joey working there, Saratoga can replace the Sea Hero statue with a statue of a large weenie commemorating all they have done for the game.

Owners like Mellon are sorely missed today... If anything, the statue is a reminder of some of the better days of racing...

(And as an FYI, Joey spent just a summer and a half working the Carolina mines. His career as a Cue-slinger is over.. While it may have shown flashes of brilliance, it was not a statue-earning tenure.)

Of course most famous non-Derby/Travers winner would be Gallant Fox who was stunned in 1930 by..... Jim Dandy.
