Native Dancer made his final start as a two-year-old in the East View Stakes at Jamaica on October 22 over a distance of miles. He won with ease, "wiggling his ears and having much fun" as he crossed the finish line lengths ahead of Laffango, who had earlier won the Champagne Stakes. Guerin confirmed that Native Dancer had eased himself after taking the lead at the head of the stretch. "He's not going to do any more than you make him do," he said. "I never hit him with the whip."
