Northern Sun's dam, Earthland, raced fifteen times and came out with one win and one show. She earned $14,750. Northern Baby, Northern Sun's grandsire on his dam's side, raced seventeen times. He had five wins, two places, and five shows, earning $337,357. The major race that he won was a grade II race Champion S. Gr.1 Prix Dollar. Northern Dancer, Northern Sun's maternal great-grandsire, won the Kentucky Derby in exactly two minutes in 1964 where he beat Hill Rise by a neck. He also won the Preakness, but fell short of winning the Belmont Stakes. On June 20th, 1964, he won the Queen's Plate and was thus named Canada's Horse of the Year and the top three-year-old in America. In eighteen starts he won fourteen times, placed and showed twice each (he never placed worse than third). He earned over $580,000 and proved to be as great on the track as he was a sire. In 1970 he was the leading stud in England and the same in American in 1971.

Northern Sun raced once while he has been with me (how he did previously is unknown to me, but the preson I bought him from said he was a racehorse, so we trained him as such), and won a grade one rated race. This was when he was four years old. After that he was put into trainig for eventing, but focusing on all aspects of the English world. He is doing fairly well for his first time out in the shows, and I expect he'll be placing better as time passes. He does have three good gaits.

This handsome stallion is the clown of the barn and he definitely has his own horse sense of humour. While standing next to you he will mess up your hair by simply mouthing at it with his lips. He enjoys getting you just as wet as he is when he is receiving a bath. He is a horse that will bloat his stomach not to avoid the tightness of the girth but to frustrate you. Northern Sun really does make life around the barn livelier than it would be without him.

Northern Sun has proven himself as a racehorse sire. Already he has sired six offspring, three of which are old enough to race. His star colt, SI Unruly Luminary is a GI stakes winning racer. He has only raced ten times and from those races has earned over $880,000. This is spectacular news! Congratulations to MHF! Another of his sons, also owned by MHF, SI Boreal Sun Beelzebub won his very first race. We are looking forward to more of Nort's offspring to run. He has already passed on his speed, stamina, conformation, and heart. Why not breed a Northern Sun baby today?
