Take a look back at legendary Tom Fool and the race named in his honor with Richard Migliore. The Hall of Fame horse had one of the finest campaigns in racing history as a four-year-old in 1953. His sterling 10-for-10 campaigns was enough to earn him Horse of the Year over fellow legend Native Dancer. When his full career is taken into account, it is no wonder he is considered one of the very best of all time. The G3 Tom Fool, run in his honor at Aqueduct Racetrack, has been won by horses who are impressive in their own right. The Mig looks at three of them - King's Swan, Groovy, and Ghostzapper.
