The Lost in the Fog Stakes was an American ungraded Thoroughbred horse race held at Golden Gate Fields in Albany, California. It was named in honor of Lost in the Fog, the brilliant sprinter who made his name between 2004 and 2006 before dying of lymphoma at age four.

First run in 2007, the race was a five-furlong sprint for two-year-old horses until 2014 when it was opened to older horses, aged four and up, and run at a distance of six furlongs. During the summer of 2007, the racetrack installed a polymer synthetic type racing surface as mandated by the California Horse Racing Board. The Tapeta Footings synthetic all-weather racing surface is designed to make racing safer for both horses and riders.

With the closure of the racetrack, the 2023 race would be its final edition.[1]
