How Northern Dancer Founded a Racing Dynasty
He was a well-bred, handsome colt, maybe a bit on the small side.
When he was offered for sale as a yearling, there were no takers.
E.P. Taylor, his Canadian breeder, didn't mind - Northern Dancer went on to
win the 1964 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, and later became the sire
sensation of the century.
Noted pedigree analyst Avalyn Hunter explores how the bloodline of Northern
Dancer became so dominant and how this prepotent sire and his sons
revolutionized the international bloodstock market.
