Thread: Native Dancer - Tom Fool

    Native Dancer - Tom Fool

    Hello all,

    I saw a photo online of Native Dancer racing against another horse that was labeled "Tom Fool." For the life of me, I cannot find any reference that the two ever faced each other in the same race. I knew there was talk of a match race, but the Grey Ghost had an injury.

    Anyone??

    Thanks in advance!

    They never faced each other on the track and that was the Man O'War/Exterminator and Zenyatta/Rachel Alexandra controversy of the day.

    So who is this?? (Scroll to the one that says Tom Fool and ND...)

    That probably is Native Dancer and Tom Fool. The picture is almost certainly two separate images spliced together. Notice the blurred line between the horses, against the trees in the background -- that's likely where the two photos were joined.

    I think E-man's right. This appears to be the original Native Dancer image: http://horseracing.about.com/library...lnativedan.htm

    Haven't found the Tom Fool one yet, but it's one of those 'I think I've seen it before' pictures.
