Flaming Page - As A Broodmare

As A Broodmare

Flaming Page produced only three foals but would have a profound impact on the European racing and breeding industry:

  • Nijinsky with Northern Dancer, England's first Triple Crown winner in 35 years; Leading sire in Great Britain & Ireland and Leading broodmare sire in North America;
  • Minsky with Northern Dancer, Ireland's champion 2-year-old colt in 1970.
  • Fleur, with Victoria Park who produced The Minstrel, 1977 Horse of the Year in England;

In 1969, Flaming Page suffered difficulties foaling another Northern Dancer colt, which subsequently died. Flaming Page was unable to conceive again and was retired in 1975.
