I've seen Dr Fager's record and I know the history of his matchups with Damascus.
He is very high on my list of all time greats. He's certainly the most underrated ever as far as I am concerned.
Despite that I believe he wasn't quite as good going very long as he was in the middle and short distances.
When I think of Seattle Slew's Jock Club Gold Cup at 12 furlongs and imagine what would have happened between the two of them at the longer routes, I see Slew having deeper reserves of stamina and winning at the classic distances. At 1M or shorter it's all Fager. Perhaps 9 furlongs would be the best match, but I have a funny feeling you like Fager at every distance. :-)
