Exclusive Native (April 17, 1965 – May 10, 1983) was an American Thoroughbred stallion sired by Raise a Native out of Exclusive. Foaled in Florida, the chestnut colt was bred and owned by Louis Wolfson's Harbor View Farm. Exclusive Native is the Sire of Triple Crown Winner Affirmed.
Exclusive Native's race record was 13: 4-4-3, and his earnings totaled $169,013. Two of his wins included the Sanford Stakes and the Arlington Classic.
Notwithstanding his strong racing record, he is best remembered as the sire of two U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductees: the leading sire in North America in 1978 and 1979, he made a name for himself when he produced his most famous son Affirmed, who won the 1978 U.S. Triple Crown, and his daughter Genuine Risk, one of only three fillies to win the Kentucky Derby (1980). Exclusive Native sired many other great stakes winners as well, including Champion 2-year-old filly Outstandingly and Champion 2-year-old colt Puerto RicoProdigo, as well as many Grade 1 Stakes winners like Mill Native, winner of the Arlington Million Stakes, Sabona, Life’s Hope and Valdez. The 2015 U.S. Triple Crown winner, American Pharoah, has Exclusive Native as a member of his fourth generation.
