A fantastic horse that is very underrated and forgotten. He was a good sire and an amazing race horse. Few other horses could have done what he did.
Damascus, owned by Edith W. Bancroft, broke his maiden at Aqueduct Racetrack, winning by eight lengths.Read More

No way Damascus should be ranked so low and Dr. Fager so high - they should both be in the #11-#20 range

Just yesterday Damascus was at 9.0 and now he's at 8.93! This is ridiculous! He's an all-time great! If you don't know what you're doing, don't vote!!!
  • iThoroughbred · I totally agree with Jackie999. We even see the all mighty Secretariat going DOWN. This is pure craziness! All the hard work these horses put into this sport and yet people still don't give these horses credit that they all should have. Such a shame! · 281 days ago ·

I just completed the past performance history for Damascus with a record of 32 21 7 3. What an amazing horse and probably best summed up by his rider, the late Bill Shoemaker:"He showed me guts in the Remsen. We were slammed against the rail -and that would be enough to take the starch out of some horses- but he recovered and came on to win. I made a couple of runs with him, and he didn't fail me. Most horses don't want to make more than one run." 1967 Horse of the Year this was a horse full of spirited heart and drive. If anyone can find anymore video please add them in.
  • iThoroughbred · I have two horses out of him! GREAT horses...well built, well mannered and SMART. Such athletes in the ring. They can really take a fence and they've never knocked a rail. I keep raising them to higher levels and they take the fences like they are nothing. LOVE LOVE LOVE Damascus! · 322 days ago ·

Racing fans of today embrace a different breed of hero than their predecessors back in the days when horses raced often and were rarely retired at 3.Read More
May 15, 1967 Overtones of unpredictability began to set the mood of the Kentucky Derby weeks before the 93rd running last Saturday. On Derby Day, as mist and rain swept in to chill and dampen the somewhat nervous throng, the atmosphere was one of tingly apprehension instead of traditional festivity.Read More
