Northern Dancer was not recongnized as a great race horse until after he stopped racing. His greatest contribution was in the stud barn where his legacy lives on today. This book recognizes the greatness in this horse and in his offspring. I own a Northern Dancer grandson and wanted to learn more about him. In this book, I got everything I wanted except perhaps more information about some of his greatest sons, such as Lyphard. However, I feel like I know something about Northern Dancer and why he changed thoroughbred racing stock in North America forever.
