“He Might Fly”

Lost in the Fog easily beat two challengers in yesterday’s Golden Bear Breeders’ Cup at Golden Gate Fields. The undefeated colt set a track record, going six furlongs in 1:07.32, and amazed not just fans, but owner Harry Aleo and trainer Greg Gilchrist with the performance:

“Both of us were a little amazed today,” Gilchrist said, speaking for Aleo. And hype isn’t Gilchrist’s style …
Nobody was surprised at the win. But Gilchrist was quietly blown away.
“The time is one thing,” he said, “and the way he did it …”
What can Fog do if he is asked to give more?

Lost in the Fog’s next start will likely be the Riva Ridge Stakes on June 11 at Belmont.
