Sword Dancer
Sword Dancer (April 24, 1956 – November 16, 1984) was an American Hall of Fame Champion Thoroughbred racehorse. He was the leading American colt of his generation and was voted United States Horse of the Year in 1959.
==Racing career==
Owned by Isabel Dodge Sloane's Brookmeade Stable, the small Sword Dancer won three times in fourteen starts at age two. At age three, he began to develop and in the 1959 Kentucky Derby was beaten by a nose by Tomy Lee in a stretch duel. When Tomy Lee did not compete in the Preakness Stakes, his jockey Bill Shoemaker rode Sword Dancer to a second-place finish behind Royal Orbit. In the Belmont Stakes on June 13, Sword Dancer got the better of what was described as a "bitter stretch duel"〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=nHkzAAAAIBAJ&sjid=DOsFAAAAIBAJ&pg=4125,3779552&dq=sword-dancer&hl=en〕 with Bagdad to win by three-quarters of a length on a muddy track. The colt also won a number of other major races, including a defeat of Hillsdale in the Woodward Stakes. He also defeated 1958 Horse Of The Year Round Table for a second time (he was third in the Woodward), beating him by seven lengths in the Jockey Club Gold Cup at Aqueduct Racetrack.〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Jv0sAAAAIBAJ&sjid=O80FAAAAIBAJ&pg=6328,280676&dq=sword-dancer+gold-cup&hl=en〕 His performance throughout 1959 earned him Horse of the Year honors from all three of the major awarding bodies.
After a slow start at age four, Sword Dancer came on to win four important races out of his twelve starts. In one of his most notable performances, he won a second Woodward Stakes in track record time of 2:01.2 in September, beating a field that included Bald Eagle and T. V. Lark.〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=iokeAAAAIBAJ&sjid=rswEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5062,3799924&dq=sword-dancer+woodward&hl=en〕
