Native Dancer - Now that's what i call racing!!!

"He's everything they've said about him. Sheer power is the only way to describe him."
Before the Travers Stakes, a group of fans got past the guards and pulled hairs from his mane and tail as souvenirs. It was the first time a horse was almost trampled to death by humans, but Native Dancer recovered from the incident, easily winning the Travers by five and a half lengths.

I got the chills reading about this horse - imagine the vibe when he ran!!!

"The T.V. Guide ranked him second to Ed Sullivan as the biggest attraction on television"
