Native Dancer (1950) was a great-great-grandson by Polynesian of Phalaris; his dam Geisha was a granddaughter of Display (by Fair Play). The blood is American to an exceptional degree, which may explain the success of his get, as an outcross, at stud in Europe. He first ran and won at Jamaica on 19th April 1952; he was always odds-on thereafter; he won the rest of his eight races as a two-year-old and all but one of his total of 22.
