the good Doctor gave away massive weight to a murderer's row of turf horses in this race, aforementioned Advocator son of Round Table (the greatest turf horse of all time), Tobin Bronze the Australian grass champion from a country of outstanding horses, 1967 grass champion Fort Marcy, and Flit-To had won this very race the previous season
What a horse and what a heart he has
Wow! Dr.Fager had that awesome home stretch power like no other. Truly amazing !
never whipped once in his career, he won it all on heart
My dad loved Dr Fager R*I*P dad
Advocator 46-10-7-13….son of Round Table (1963) ran brilliantly. Poor guy ran against Dr Fager, Damascus and Buckpasser a couple of times each.

carried only 112 lbs over the 1 mile and 3 sixteenths while the Doc carried 132 lbs. The GOAT
The best ride in the history by Braulio Baeza.....un fenomeno de jockey este SR una leyenda viviente don Braulio...
Braulio Baeza, very smart man...he knows Dr Fager has so much heart you don't dare use the whip
He did not like the grass course - slipping all over. But still beat the best grass horses in the country.
