I found this video of Lost In The Fog...

[two gun sid]

he was the best sprinter I've ever seen and I had hoped to watch his sons and daughters run for the rest of my life. He was an amazing racehorse and I can't explain how badly I still feel over his passing away.

"...but, Lost In The Fog...remember his name."

2. Thanks, I never got to see Spend A Buck race...

Uncle Sugar sent me to Central America that year. I can't believe no one tried to go after him and let him get all brave on the front end like that. Didn't he end up being like the greatest stallion in Argentina or something?

4. Don't know about Argentina...

I saw him break his cherry at Calder and then his allowance at Calder as well.

Remember this about him?

Spend A Buck owner Dennis Diaz opted to skip the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes, and thus trade Spend A Buck's chance to win the Triple Crown for a shot at the bonus. Cordero, Spend A Buck's regular jockey, was committed to another race that day, so Hall of Fame jockey Laffit Pincay Jr. was to ride Spend A Buck at Garden State. Spend A Buck won the Jersey Derby by a neck over eventual Belmont winner Creme Fraiche, capturing a $2.6 million prize, the largest single purse in American racing history. That record stood for 19 years, until Smarty Jones won the 2004 Kentucky Derby and a bonus inspired by Brennan's.

Due to Spend A Buck skipping the last two legs of the Triple Crown, the Triple Crown races immediately put up a bonus of their own, to prevent that from ever happening again.

5. That's right, I remember that happening....

I heard about it that summer. I missed a couple of years of racing in the '80's making the world safe for international corporations.

3. He was an exciting horse on the track

... and underrated. Year before him was Swale, one of my favorites of all time.
