Lost in the Fog Is Out
“With four decisive wins in four starts, Lost in the Fog is the most consistently fast 3-year-old in America, but he will not run in any of the three Triple Crown races. Trainer Greg Gilchrist and owner Harry J. Aleo confirmed Wednesday that they wouldn’t subject their Golden Gate Fields-based colt to the rigors of long races like the 1 1/4-mile Kentucky Derby, 1 3/16-mile Preakness and 1 1/2- mile Belmont Stakes.” Good for Aleo and Gilchrist, for recognizing that they have a fantastic sprinter who deserves a decent career and for not succumbing to Derby fever. Lost in the Fog’s next race may be the Bay Shore Stakes on April 9 at Aqueduct. (San Francisco Chronicle)
Teamsters, Jockeys’ Guild Meet
Make of this what you will: “While both groups have represented different segments of racing industry workers for decades, the Jockeys’ Guild and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters met formally for the first time Wednesday to discuss how they can leverage each other’s strength to help improve working conditions for track workers such as jockeys, judges, security personnel, and admission workers.” (Thoroughbred Times)
