Unfortunately,

sprint champion Lost in the Fog has inoperable cancer and may have just two weeks to live.

Right now he is not suffering, and vets will keep him comfortable for as long as possible:

Doctors told Gilchrist that Lost in the Fog has had the cancer for months and it probably affected all of his races this year, when he won just once in three starts.

"It definitely wasn't helping him," the trainer said. "What a warrior; I've never had a horse that comes close to this one."

Gilchrist said it would not be proper to try to extend Lost in the Fog's life beyond the horse's comfort level.

"We're fine with a week, 10 days, maybe two weeks," he said. "But you get beyond that, his quality of life wouldn't be good. This way we'll let the people who have always been around him take care of him. We'll bring him home and make him as happy as we can for awhile."
