*I won just a shade under two-thirds of my starts while only finishing out of the money once, and that was the result of an injury.
*Well traveled, I won stakes races on the East Coast, West Coast and the Midwest.
*My victories came at a distance range of ten furlongs between the shortest and the longest, my losses ranged nine furlongs.
*I was a stakes winner at six different tracks, but my first and last both came at Aqueduct.
*My jockeys, including the Hall of Fame ones, liked to wear polka dots.
*My Eclipse Awards were the result of my 2nd season on the track.
*I once carried at least 130 ponds in six consecutive starts.
*My sire won a double digit amount of stakes, and I won quite a few more than he did.
*My greatest rival and I evenly split our four contests over two seasons.
*Despite my name, I was born, bred, and raced in the USA.
You should know by now … Who Am I ???

DAMASCUS
ReplyDeleteA New World's Record!!!
ReplyDeleteDamascus it is, and in one minute ... skipaway2000, you're my hero!
Tell us all how you got it so incredibly fast.
ReplyDeleteYAYY!!! I have been trying forever to win this! I love the Damascus/Dr. Fager rivalry, wish I'd seen it in person. I think the polka dots clue sealed it for me!
ReplyDeleteWow. I didn't even read half of the hints and there's a winner. Good job, skipaway.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I have a feeling your record will never be broken, and I will never give polka dots as a clue again. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHehehe, can I put the world record on my resume'?
ReplyDeleteResume??? After tonight, I don't think you will even need a resume any more! ;-)
ReplyDeleteDarn it. Damascus, of course! I always think when I read these that it's going to be some unknown horse, at least one that isn't as known as Damascus. You're a tricky one Brian.
ReplyDeleteI missed last night but I see I would have never typed fast enough Great job skipaway
