(Charlton Beswick Animals Price Guide ---9th Edition Book Price Was £160.00)
(In the year 1967 The great Vincent O’Brien purchased a colt having an unusual scar on his coat, by Northern Dancer out of Flaming Page at the Woodbine Sales for 84,000; on behalf of Diamond tycoon Charles Englehard. Few could imagine that day that this colt would emerge into a superstar. Nijinsky was simply the ‘Jesus Christ ‘of Flat Racing, at least in terms of his popularity amongst the Racing public. In the history of Racing perhaps only Arkle and Red Rum surpassed his popularity. There is simply no superlative to describe his unprecedented achievements in 1970, something that till this day a horse has not achieved in Flat Racing. The great Dancer of the Century had been resurrected. There were few better sights in racing than watching this colt’s amazing turn of foot.)
