50 Running on Saturday, August 24, 2024
As a 3-year-old in 1959, Sword Dancer finished second in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness – losing the former by a nose to Tomy Lee – and won the Belmont Stakes, Metropolitan Handicap, Travers, Woodward, and Jockey Club Gold Cup en route to multiple year-end honors, including Horse of the Year. In 39 career starts, Sword Dancer competed only three times on grass, with his best finishes a second in the 1960 United Nations Handicap and a third in his final start, the Man o’ War at Belmont the same year. A 1 ½-mile turf race since 1980, the Sword Dancer moved from Belmont Park to Saratoga in 1992. From 1994-2003, it was run as an invitational handicap.
