I was a very young kid at the time, but I remember my father talking about Northern Dancer. I only remember because as a child, the name "Northern Dancer" sounded like something Walt Disney would produce, so it perked my interest.

I've never viewed any footage of Northern Dancer.

Thanks for the post.
