Sailor (foaled 1952 in Kentucky) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse.
Sailor was conditioned for racing by Hall of Fame trainer Preston Burch.
However, under regular rider Hedley Woodhouse he won four major races that year, including the prestigious Pimlico Special at Pimlico Race Course in 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.
Retired to 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, and 1964 American Champion Sprint Horse Ahoy.
