    First Edition 2001
    Nearctic was an equine aristocrat. Tall, proud, and true to his regal heritage, he could run a hole in the wind. Unlike Seabiscuit, however, Nearctic was not so lucky in his handlers - caught in a bizarre power struggle between his ally, gifted trainer Gordon McCann, and others whose agendas were not in the best interests of this astonishing horse, Nearctic survived physical hardships, mismanagement and incompetence, to become the patriarch of the most dominant sire line in thoroughbred history. Approximately 75% of all foals born in 2001 boast Nearctic in their bloodlines. The worlds leading sires - Sadler's Wells, Storm Cat, Danehill, Phone Trick, Thunder Gulch, Deputy Minister, Danzig, Nureyev - are all direct descendants.
    Dark Horse is an enormously engaging and haunting look at an admirable animal.
