      American horseman (b. July 25, 1927, West Windsor, N.J.—d. Sept. 8, 2005, Pompano Beach, Fla.), captured 3,781 races during his career as one of harness racing's most aggressive drivers. He began driving trotters in 1945 and soon after added trainer, owner, and breeder to his résumé. In 1964 Dancer became the first driver in a single year to win more than $1 million in purses. He trained and drove seven harness Horse of the Year winners, three Triple Crown winners, and four winners of the sport's premier race, the Hambletonian, for three-year-old trotters. Dancer was inducted into the Harness Racing Hall of Fame in 1969.
