Town Policy (1975–1984) was a Quarter Horse racehorse, noted not only for his achievements on the racetrack, but for disappearing from his stall in 1977 and being recovered five months later in Mexico.[1][2] A mere ten weeks after being recovered, Town Policy went on to win the Los Alamitos Derby by two and a half lengths.[3] He broke his shoulder in an allowance race on January 3, 1984 and was buried in the infield of Los Alamitos Race Course the next day.[3]
