Rating: 4/5
This is a thoroughly researched biography about the racehorse Native Dancer. Native Dancer was a great gray stallion and his coloring made him distinguishable on the 1950's television. He had an unbelievable stride measuring 29 feet which is 5-7 feet longer than the average Thoroughbred. The biography is engaging but at times started to drag in a few places where I found myself skipping to the next paragraph. Background information on the humans connected to Native Dancer is detailed and grounds the reader back in time. If you want to learn about Native Dancer I highly recommend this book to any racing fan!
