His mother is Flower Princess and his father the great Northern Dancer. Windfields officials say if this colt goes to prove himself as a champion racer he someday could be worth $40 million. popular stallion in the world farm has a laboratory on the premises complete with oxygen, drugs. and other medical equipment needed to do such testing as cross matching blood, and milk compatability between off- spring and mares. Nothing is -left to chance. E.P. Taylor, now in his eighties, visits the farm infrequently and his son oversees its operation. But Peter Pool is the on-location manager and has been part of the Taylor "horse" business for many years. Pool says "Windfields" is the leading farm in the production of stakes winners England's first Triple Crown winner in 35 years and there has been none since. 'The Minsrel"' is another "Dancer" product. An injury following his winning of the Queen's Plate put "Dancer" out to pasture in 1965. At that time his live-foal fee was $10,000. Now breeding to "Dancer" is restricted - in fact he is owned by a syndicate - and Peter Pool believes the price tag for a live foal is now around $250,000. In fact one of the most valuable animals on "Wind- fields' Oshawa farm this spring was born February into June, thus avoiding the harsh winter months. E.P. Taylor has always believed in informing the public and to accomodate this the "Windfields" farm allows tours and visits. from: one until four p.m. on week days. Besides seeing majestic stallions and cute foals kicking up their heels as they frolic by their mothers, visitors can view the immaculate barns and enormous training and breeding areas. "Wind- fields" acreage is readily identified by the freshly mowed paddocks and white in the world. At last count it 7th, a son of 'Northern fencing thatsurrounds them, had produced over 250 Dancer" and 'Flower andschool children, charters winners: Princess". Only a few and local community groups Thoroughbred race horse breeding is big business. "Vice Regent", the highest priced stallion at '"Wind- fields", Oshawa farm is Canada's leading sire and commands a stud fee of $50,000 for a live foal. That's a $20.000 increase over last year. In 1981 his twelve yearly . offspring sold at public auction brought, on 'the average, just over $87,000 each. If sold, "Vice Regent" would be worth somewhere between seven and ten million dollars, according to _ Peter Pool. That may sound impressive until you compare him to 'Northern Dancer", the 19 year old head 'stud' 'at the Wind- fields operation in the United States. 'Northern Dancer', born in 1961 at the Oshawa "Wind- fields" farm is the most months old the colt, because of his lines and pedigree, is worth up to two million dollars. Besides the stud service is provided at the farm, mares are boarded until they: foal (the gestation period is eleven months for a horse) and young horses are broken. Yearlings go to public auctions for sale and these are bought by race visit the farms to see up- wards of 375 horses and even some ponies, a whim of Taylor's. Thoroughbred horse breeding - has .¢ome along - way in Canada in. the past" quarter of a century'and one of the influencial leaders whose name will go down in history is that of E.P.
