Native Dancer, född 27 mars 1950, död 16 november 1967, kallad The Gray Ghost, var ett engelskt fullblod, mest känd för att ha tagit 21 segrar på 22 starter, och segrat i Preakness Stakes (1953) och Belmont Stakes (1953). Han var en av de mest hyllade tävlingshästar i amerikansk historia och var den första hästen som blev känd via TV. Han valdes in i National Museum of Racing och Hall of Fame 1963. I tidningen Blood-Horses lista över de 100 bästa galopphästarna på 1900-talet rankades han sjua.

Native Dancer var en gråskimmelhingst efter Polynesian och under Geisha (efter Discovery). Native Dancer föddes upp och ägdes av Alfred G. Vanderbilt II. Han tränades under tävlingskarriären av William C. Winfrey.

Native Dancer tävlade mellan 1952 och 1954, och sprang totalt in 785 240 dollar på 22 starter, varav 21 segrar och 1 andraplats. Han tog karriärens största segrar i Preakness Stakes (1953) och Belmont Stakes (1953). Han segrade även i Youthful Stakes (1952), Flash Stakes (1952), Saratoga Special Stakes (1952), Grand Union Hotel Stakes (1952), Hopeful Stakes (1952), Futurity Stakes (1952), East View Stakes (1952), Gotham Stakes (1953), Wood Memorial (1953), Withers Stakes (1953), Dwyer Stakes (1953), Arlington Classic (1953), Travers Stakes (1953), American Derby (1953) och Metropolitan Handicap (1954).

Native Dancer var obesegrad i sina nio starter som tvååring[2], och röstades fram till American Horse of the Year[3] av två av tre stora branschtidningar.[4] One Count röstades fram i den andra.[5]

Som treåring fick Native Dancer tidigt uppmärksamhet i media fram till Kentucky Derby 1953. Han segrade i Gotham Stakes och det prestigefyllda Wood Memorial, men i Kentucky Derby förlorade han för enda gången i karriären. I Kentucky Derby den 2 maj startade Native Dancer, obesegrad i elva lopp, som klar favorit.[6] I löpet tog Dark Star ledningen i första sväng[7], och Native Dancer sparade sin spurt till upploppet. Dark Star fick en ledning med ett par längder, och trots att Native Dancer spurtade snabbt, höll Dark Star undan och segrade med ett huvud.[8][9][10]

Native Dancer segrade därefter i Preakness, Belmont och Travers Stakes, en bedrift som fram till dess endast uppnåtts av Duke of Magenta, Grenada, Man o' War och Whirlaway. Native Dancer avslutade treåringssäsongen med nio vinster (alla i stakeslöp) på tio starter och utsågs till Champion Three-Year Old Colt. I omröstningen till American Horse of the Year kom han på andra plats bakom Tom Fool, som hade vunnit alla sina tio starter.[11][12]

Som fyraåring gjorde Native Dancer endast tre starter, innan han tvingades att avsluta tävlingskarriären på grund av en skada.[13] Han utsågs igen till American Horse of the Year.[14][15] Många anser att Native Dancer var den första hästen som blev känd via TV.[16][17]

Som avelshingst

[redigera | redigera wikitext]

Som avelshingst fick Native Dancer 43 stakesvinnare (eller 44 enligt en källa) från 306 avkommor.[18] Hans manliga ättlingar, särskilt genom hans barnbarn Mr. Prospector, har dominerat de amerikanska Triple Crown-löpen. Han är också morfar till Northern Dancer, utan tvekan den mest inflytelserika hingsten på 1900-talet.

Även om Native Dancer aldrig blev ledande avelshingst i Nordamerika, slutade han tvåa 1966 och sexa 1965. Han var också tvåa över ledande avelshingst i Storbritannien och Irland 1963 och sjua på den franska listan 1963.[19]

Native Dancer dog den 16 november 1967 efter att en tumör på tunntarmens vägg avlägsnats. Han begravdes på Sagamore Farm.[20][21]
