Not Exactly..
Many people considered Native Dancer to be the greatest horse in American racing history, rivaling even the superiority of the legendary Man o' War, later pointing out that even Secretariat didn't match the enormous length of Man o' War's stride, but Native Dancer had equaled the twenty-eight foot span. Said Joe Hall:..
This horse broke his maiden by 4/1/2 lengths and then four days later he went out and won the Youthful Stakes by six.
The "Master" Eddie Acaro said this of him "He's everything they've said about him. Sheer power is the only way to describe him."
