    stallions from the 70's through early 90's
    just trying to remember off the top of my head stallions from this era..been following the game since the late 70's
    and probably started with racing forms in the early 80's..ideally looking for horses who ended their racing career between 1970-1989 but if i'm (or you're) a little off no big deal....realize most don't give a damn about this.. feel free to post if you can think of one or more..doing this on the fly so will start with a few and add (via edit)along the way..everything off the top of my head..not looking up all of northern dancer's progeny but can't stop you from doing that lol..mistakes will be corrected

    to try and recognize the major sire lines will note sons of these stallions

    nd..northern dancer
    mp..mr prospector
    ndg(g)..northern dancer grandson or great gs
    mpg(g)..same as above
    secretariat..no major sires I believe but will note..ad i've mentioned before though he's the grandsire of mega sire's ap indy and storm cat ..major sire gone west and ok sire summer squall ..all probably deceased
    or maybe one pensioned (not active)..this to me as good or better accomplishment as being a major sire

    trying to keep this list 70's to 80's but early 90's ok


    comments refer to their ability as a sire but i'm (very) far from an expert.. mostly an exercise in remembering names and what my recollections were of some of them as a sire off the top of my head..an expert would chew me up



    northern dancer (nd) foaled 1961 and was an active sire through most of the 80's


    mr prospector (mp) foaled 1970 active through late 90's






    lyphard (nd) turf distance ..way above average

    danzig (nd) one of the best ever.. euro/usa turf or dirt

    danehill (danzig) elite euro
    danzig's connection (guess who lol)
    pine bluff (danzig)
    boundary (danzig)
    polish navy (danzig)
    sea hero (polish navy)
    belong to me (danzig)
    chiefs crown (danzig) secretariat mare
    green desert (danzig)
    lure (danzig) alydar mare.. big runner.. minor sire


    some of these danzig's close or a little beyond the cutoff date except connection and polish navy, chief's crown

    sovereign dancer (nd)
    gate dancer (sovereign dancer)

    topsider (nd)

    lomond (nd)


    storm bird sb (nd)

    summer squall (storm bird ) half bro to ap indy secretariat mare

    storm cat (storm bird ) one of the best ever secretariat mare
    (his progeny (stallions, many) a little young for this list)

    dixieland band (nd) more usa.. way above average

    vice regent (nd)

    deputy minister (vice regent) son of above mostly usa dirt.. way above avg

    silver deputy (deputy minister)


    the minstrel (nd)
    palace music (the minstrel) sire of cigar

    sadlers wells (nd) best ever (next to pops lol and only one better than pops ..so guess he's not the best ever but very high up on the mountain

    el gran senor (nd) think more of a mix but not sure

    nureyev (nd) big euro
    theatrical (nuryev) major

    nijinsky (nd) big euro
    baldski (nijinsky)
    green dancer (nijinsky)
    ferdinand (nijinsky)
    royal academy (nijinsky)
    strawberry road (grandson nijinsky)






    fappiano (mp) major sire

    roy (fappiano)

    unbridled (fappiano) major sire

    unbridled song (unbridled) major sire

    late 90's start at stud but mp line and tremendous sire


    cryptoclearance (fappiano) average sire

    gone west (mp) major secretariat mare

    seeking the gold (mp).. elite


    miswaki (mp) dam sire of galileo who's a son of sadlers well (nd) ..galileo class of 98 but along with his sire and grandsire nd might be the 3 greatest stallions ever...being the dam sire is worth a mention

    machieavelian (mp) elite euro sire

    forty niner (mp) major

    crafty prospector (mp) average

    allen's prospect (mp) average

    native prospector (mp) below average
    aloha prospector (native prospector) below average

    afleet (mp) excellent sire who's sired sires (later than date restrictions)

    woodman (mp) average/above average


    conquistador cielo (mp)

    kingmambo (mp) little late stud 94 but super sire

    gulch (mp) above average

    two punch (mp) above average


    thunder gulch (mpg) son of above 90's

    strike gold (mp)


    double negative (mp)


    not for love (mp)

    carson city (mp) above avg sire



    just commented on the northern dancer and mr prospector's.. how good just my opinion but think I'm in the ballpark overall..northern dancer grandsons and great grandsons run deeper than mr prospector..part of that is he's 9 years older and therefore more room under the date cap but feel he's still got him beat by quite a bit overall



    ¹mr prospector, alydar and exclusive native all by "raise a native" so he should get a mention

    graustark (full brother hm)

        as I've been doing this I've been looking up the sire's of the sire which outside of the northern dancer's and mr prospector's guessing I knew about 50-60% of off the top of my head.. while looking up lineage i stumbled on some names I remembered so not all of these but most (over 85% i'd say) I got on my own.. was aware of all of them.. not going to look up the major sire progeny to fill in the blanks.. no challenge that way
