LEGENDS THAT LIVE ON - SUCCESSFUL STALLIONS

See some of racing's most successful stallions as the long-gone and defunct weekly racing video magazine, "Down the Stretch", catches up with several retired racing legends who gave fans eternal Kentucky Derby memories as the Kentucky Derby of 1984 draws near.

Extensive footage of 24-year-old NORTHERN DANCER is shown at Windfields Farm - kicking if up and full of energy in his paddock; also included is a rare interview of his early rider, Ron Turcotte.

Alfred G. Vanderbilt gives a lengthy interview in 1985 with film footage of his NATIVE DANCER's only loss in the 1953 Kentucky Derby - still a very sore spot.

Other great stallions visited include RAISE A NATIVE, MR, PROSPECTOR, ALYDAR, SECRETARIAT, SEATTLE SLEW (shown in training and jogging at Spendthrift Farm and later being moved to Three Chimneys), NIJINSKY II, THE MINSTREL, EL GRAN SENOR, LYPHARD, DANZIG, STEPHANS' ODYSSEY, AFFIRMED and ALYDAR together at Calumet Farm in 1986, the great harness champ NIATROSS burning it up in his paddock in Pine Bush, New York...and regal pensioners ROUND TABLE shown at 30+ years old at Claiborne Farm and GALLANT MAN at Spendthrift Farm both living legends from the 1954 foal crop and still going strong!!
