Other


Desert Wine (1980–2003) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse. A descendant of Nearco, he was sired by U.S. Hall of Fame inductee Damascus, himself the son of another Hall of Fame horse, Sword Dancer. Out of the mare Anne Campbell, her sire was Never Bend. Desert Wine won a number of important stake races during his career and notably had solid second place performances in the 1983 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. However, he is probably best remembered for the 1984 Hollywood Gold Cup when Chris McCarron rode him to victory over the great John Henry. Desert Wine died of a heart attack at age twenty-three on October 15, 2003 at St. Hilaire Farm near Yakima, Washington where he had stood at stud since 2000.
