 Only A Game Story : Native Dancer - 6/7/2003
Native Dancer's story is full of intriguing elements, as are many stories set at the track.
This inclination encouraged his trainer to teach Native Dancer to run as a closer: a horse that ran with the pack until the stretch, then blew past everybody on the way to the wire.
As John Eisenberg points out in Native Dancer: The Grey Ghost, Hero of a Golden Age, this horse would have been a terrific performer in any era, but the good fortune of his owner, Alfred Vanderbilt, was that Native Dancer's great days coincided with the arrival of television in millions of American homes.

 Native Dancer by John Eisenberg - read review
In 1953, Native Dancer, a grey, 3-year-old racehorse bred and owned by Alfred Vanderbilt, captured the hearts and imagination of America and was declared "one of the three most popular figures in the country," along with Arthur Godfrey and Ed Sullivan.
The Dancer always preferred to run in the middle of the pack until the race was nearly over, then, in a tremendous burst of speed he would thunder down the track, passing everything in sight to win, often by many lengths.
Native Dancer won the Preakness and the Belmont in the next few weeks, but Alfred Vanderbilt had lost his best chance ever to win the Kentucky Derby, the one honor which escaped him during his long career as a breeder and owner.

Back went the Dancer's ears and out went his stride, his reach so extended that, it was said later, you could see the bottoms of his hooves at midstride.
The grey tint in the Dancer and others was attributable to a lack of pigmentation in some hairs, leaving the coat a blend of dark and light hairs that appeared grey from a distance.
The Dancer was two and a quarter lengths ahead of Tahitian King at the finish line, and nine lengths ahead of every other horse except the distant third-place finisher, Dark Star.
