'''Sailor''' (foaled 1952 in [[Kentucky]]) was an American [[Thoroughbred]] [[horse racing|racehorse]]. Bred and raced by heiress [[Isabel Dodge Sloane|Isabel Dodge Sloane's]] [[Brookmeade Stable]], he was out of the Brookmeade mare Flota and sired by [[National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame|U.S. Racing Hall of Fame]] inductee [[Eight Thirty]].

Sailor was conditioned for racing by Hall of Fame trainer [[Preston M. Burch|Preston Burch]]. As a three-year-old in 1955, the colt did not run in any of the [[Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing#United States Triple Crowns|U.S. Triple Crown]] races. However, under regular rider [[Hedley Woodhouse]] he won four major races that year, including the prestigious [[Pimlico Special]] at [[Pimlico Race Course]] in [[Baltimore, Maryland|Baltimore]]. At age four, he began the year competing in [[Florida]], where he won the [[Gulfstream Park Handicap]], then back at Pimlico Race Course he captured the [[John B. Campbell Handicap]], at the time a race of national importance.

==As a sire==
Retired to [[stud (animal)|stud]] duty at [[Darby Dan Farm]] in [[Lexington, Kentucky]], Sailor sired a number of stakes winners, notably the outstanding Hall of Fame filly [[Bowl of Flowers]], [[Travers Stakes]] winner [[Crewman (horse)|Crewman]], and 1964 [[American Champion Sprint Horse]] [[Ahoy (horse)|Ahoy]].
