The immortal Native Dancer

You gotta love his preps for the Derby.....one week and two weeks prior to the race.

"Recurrent ankle problems prevented him from completing a season that was to include the Saratoga Cup and a possible trip to France for the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe."

There is good and bad in the Native Dancer sire influence. Crossing Native Dancer runs the risk of inheriting those ankle problems.
