Karabas won 11 races in 4 countries, including the Washington D.C. International, Prix du Conseil Municipal, La Coupe de Maisons-Laffitte, Hardwicke Stakes, and Scarbrough Stakes.[3] He also finished second in the Eclipse Stakes and third in the King Edward VII Stakes.[4] During his racing career, Karabas was trained by Bernard van Cutsem.[5]
