One of the best - if not the best - horse not to win the Triple Crown. I'm so glad he became a great sire. Such a small horse and so full of himself! I love Northern Dancer, his story and his sons Nijinsky II and Sadler's Wells. Thanks so much for uploading these videos. :)
I love Northern Dancer's story cf ! :) I can't thank you enough for taking the time to post these wonderful videos. A beautiful story about this exceptional horse . God Bless.
I was at Woodbine when he was shown to the crowd before he was sent to MD. On my way back to upstate NY I went to Cheasapeake City MD to visit Woodstock Farm to see his fathers grave Nearctic and Kelso grave. Mrs Dupont was the one that convinced EP to build his farm there. In the farms office with all there awards in a small hall is Northern Dancers bridle with his brass plate name on it. Being Canadian it was quite a thrill to see it. Then went to the old Windfield Farm to see his former stall
What a wonderful horse Dancer was. But one thing was wrong in the video - Northern Dancer´s greatness didn´t left the world. Another special thing Dancer had, is that he gave a part of his greatness to his offsprings. That´s what makes him immortal.
Northern Dancer stood at stud at Windfield Farm in Cecil Co, Maryland from 1968 or 70 where he remained until his death. The Taylors were wise to stand him in the US where it was much more practical to send mares to him. Sadly, the farm was chopped up and parceled out, a victim of sub-urban sprawl. Marylanders - and all thoroughbred fans everywhere - are proud of this horse, whose fame and influence knows no boundaries.

there will never be another all around horse that could race and was such a great sire as Northern Dancer. Pound for pound IMO he was the best
Wonderful.... thank you... I can't say anything more. What a lovely story.
Brings back memories of my horsy girlhood. He sure loved his retirement.
