Dr.
Fager: Thoroughbred Legends
Steve
Haskin
Dr.
Fager was one of the most versatile and talented racehorses
of modern times. In 1968, he recorded what many believe
to be the single greatest season by any horse in the history
of the sport. By being named Horse of the Year, champion
handicap horse, champion sprinter, and co-champion grass
horse in 1968, Dr. Fager became the first and only horse
ever to win four titles in a single year.
Author
Steve Haskin recounts Dr. Fager's most memorable exploits:
his world-record mile of 1:32 1/5, under 134 pounds, which
lasted twenty-nine years; his seven furlong track record
of 1:20 1/5 at Aqueduct, under a staggering 139 pounds,
which lasted thirty-one years; and his equaling of the
track record in the Suburban Handicap at Aqueduct for
one and a quarter miles under 132 pounds.
