Reading the recent obituaries at the Daily Racing Form about Storm Bird, 26, and Northern Taste, 33, got me wondering how many Northern Dancers are still alive.

Why Northern Dancer, you ask? There is no question that Northern Dancer was the greatest sire of the 20th century, and some think the greatest sire ever. At one time in the early 1980s, Northern Dancer’s stud fee was $1 million, no guarantee.
