Native Dancer Edges
High Gun for Honors
In Magazine Poll
By the Assoeiosed Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 16.--Native
Dancer narrowly won over High
Gun in the Turf and Sport Di-
gest's 18th annual poll on the
best horse of the year.
The Dancer got A votes to AZ
for High Gun in results an
nounced today. The magazine
said it was the closest race since
it started the poll in 1886.
Voting was done by TIA sports
writer's and broadcasters. They
chose Native Dancer also as the
best older horse and High Gun
as best of the 3-year-olds.
Nashua was rated the best 2
year-old colt and High Voltage
the best 2-year-old filly.
The selections were the same
as those of 10 racing secretaries
in a poll by the Thoroughbred
Racing Associations.
Native Dancer is the third
horse to be twice voted hest OF
the year in the turf magazine
poll, which he also won in 1852.
Challedon and Whirlaway were
the others.
Native Dancers close victory
over High Gun was due to his
short campaign as a 4. year-old.
He raced only three times, and
voters were asked to consider
only the comparative perform
ances of 1854, ignoring the past
and potential worth.
