Highlights and commentary from the 1964 Kentucky Derby won in 2:00 flat by the great Canadian horse, Northern Dancer. It was the record until the greatest, SECRETARIAT, came along in 1973.

  • Our school yard was surrounded by the National Stud Farm (Windfield Farms) and the horses grazed by the fence while we ate wild strawberries. Our class went to visit Northern Dancer after he won.

  • That's terrific! What a thrill that must have been. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

  • I just knew you liked this little guy, probably THE most important sire of all times. Not to take away from Storm Cat but outdoing the Dancer will be a tough one.

  • Yep, The Dancer was quite the stud. His own progeny might not have done as well at the track as Storm Cat's, but I agree, his bloodline is vital to the breed as we know it. Thanks for your comments, tinman. Take care.

  • Another great horse! Native Dancer would have been proud of him! Thanks for sharing this! What a handsome horse...

  • Glad you enjoyed it, silvermoon. He was a wonderful horse, I agree. Take care.

  • my horse is a great grandson to Northern Dancer ^^ Northern Dancer sure was amazing

  • I tell people all the time at the track not to worry about how small the horse is. A old horseman once told me its in their heart. If they want to run they will! Right on Dancer!!!!!!

  • Maybe, but there would not be a Storm Cat if it was not for his paternal papaw, The Dancer. And so the line grows. I really love this little guy.

  • gives me goosebumps--hey--you have sunny's halo derby?--slightly off topic--regarding dance smartly--there is always a part of me that would have loved to see her run in the classic that year--a BIG risk i know--if she had not fared well it would have meant no eclipse award--but i still like to dream...lol
