How a 15.2-Hand Runt Outran Everyone: The Legend of Northern Dancer!

How a 15.2-Hand Runt Outran Everyone: The Legend of Northern Dancer! In 1962, a compact 15.2-hand yearling was dismissed as too small, stubborn, and unpromising to race. Nobody would meet the ,000 reserve price. Two years later, Northern Dancer ran the fastest Kentucky Derby in history, dominated the 1964 Triple Crown trail, and became the most influential sire in thoroughbred history—shaping over 70% of modern racehorses. This is the definitive historical documentary chronicling the life, racing battles, and eternal bloodline of Canada's greatest champion.
