Northern Dancer is the stuff of legend... dismissed time and again because of his size - short and stocky, he appeared the antithesis of Thoroughbred elegance. Yet he not only won the Kentucky Derby in record time, he has passed on his extraordinary 'will to win' to countless generations of champions, the world-over.

To discover what propelled Nothern Dancer to run a hole in the wind, the bestselling author takes readers on a memorable ride into the sport of kings and queens.
