And it's a fact all things being equal from seven furlongs to a mile and a quarter with equal weights no rabbit's and the horses being fit no horse could beat him. James Keeney
@@jameskeeney2032 l totally agree, his trainer, John Nerud told everyone years ago just how unbelievably fast Dr. Fager really was. He expressed the same facts that you said, about no horse could beat him, when everything was equal. He also said that (no horse could look Dr. Fager in the eyes.)
had a few really good ones, not great though. About as much as I know/can tell ya. I did see him run, and to say he was great/fastest ever is still true today-Fager had to be seen to be believed. He refused to let anyone outrun him. His only losses were to Damascus when Dams' trainer ran a rabbit in 2 races... w/ no rabbit, Fager won easily... and Damascus is one of the 100 best horses EVER, yet Fager toyed w/ him.
He was leading sire in North America the year he died. He was the dam sire of the great Fappiano, sire of Kentucky Derby winner Unbridled and whose grandson, Pioneerof The Nile, sired Triple Crown winner American Pharoah. Had he not died so young, I think Dr. Fager’s influence as a sire would have been much greater.

Thanks for posting this! Loved it!!! 😍😍😍
Imagine Fager on today's souped up speed favoring tracks!?! Fastest horse ever, still.
It was said, by the people who actually had the honor of witnessing Dr. Fager run, “he was the fastest horse they had ever seen in their life.”

How successful of a sire was Dr. Fager?

@@bishlaphis prime rivals, Damascus and Buckpasser, were very successful sires.
Successes also beat the Doc at age 2. But yes he was the greatest along with Spectacular Bid
Successer
