Northern Dancer: The Legend and His Legacy in Bloomington, MN

The story of Northern Dancer is the stuff of legend. A little horse, dismissed time and again because of his size, Northern Dancer not only won the 1964 Kentucky Derby in record time, today his descendants dominate racing the world over. Best selling author, Muriel Lennox, takes readers on a memorable ride into the sport of kings and queens. Lennox's deep empathy with horses results in dramatic portrayals of the animals themselves. Northern Dancer, his ancestors and descendants - from the eccentric Hyperion to the brilliant Nijinsky - fairly gallop off the pages.
