After the Kentucky Derby, where Alfred G. Vanderbilt's Native Dancer was beaten by a head, horsemen decided that Vanderbilt had been stretching a point when he called the big grey "the first great horse I ever owned." After the Preakness, which Native Dancer won by a neck, this verdict was modified: the Dancer was a fine horse, but he would have to show more before he could be ranked with the Man o' Wars, Citations and Whirlaways.

The question before the grandstand: Is Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt's Native Dancer the same spectacular horse at three that he was at two, when he won nine races out of nine? Jamaica fans did not expect the full answer in one day, but, looking over the so-so field of horses running with the Dancer, they wagered that he would win his 1953 debut with ease...
