Simply watching the races - it would be impossible to not make that kind of judgement.

His '67 Travers win looking like Whirlaway in the '41 Preakness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWGOz...eature=related

All of his meetings with Dr. fager: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8frxLao1bM


And as for Erie - it has produced one of the greatest sports heros going for undersized men like yourself.


Too bad he's one week away from he, and the Indy secondary, getting owned by Moss.
I've watched many of Damascus' races and no, it's not impossible to not make the judgment you made.

He was far more than just a rabbited set up horse.

And when he wasn;t rabbitted vs Fager, it was no disgrace that he got beat. Fager was only one of the two best horses to race between Citation and Secretariat and arguably was better than both of them.

Maybe a political analyst gig is in your future?

Obviously Damascus was great no matter what - but like I said, he was invincible with the rabbit to set him up. Does that statement make him less of a horse?

I will only become a politcal analyst if I can bring Cannon along as my expert on Pakistan.

Yes, that's a good idea. Especially if he wears that pork pie hat and adds a monacle. Sh*t would get straightened out right quick.

Only if my funds are paid in a foreign currency directly into an offshore account. I had a good 7/11 joke but I dont want to be considered racially insensitive if I'm going to work for Drugs
