Seattle Dancer (April 22, 1984 – June 2, 2007) was bred in Kentucky, by Warner L. Jones, William S. Farish III, and William S. Kilroy, a partnership who owned his dam, My Charmer.
His sire was the 1971 British Triple Crown winner and Champion sire, Nijinsky, who was a son of Northern Dancer, whom the National Thoroughbred Racing Association calls ‘one of the most influential sires in Thoroughbred history‘.
Bought for $13.1 million, by Stavros Niarchos, Susan Magnier, Vincent O’Brien, Robert Sangster and a California businessman Daniel Schwartz, Seattle Dancer entered stud in 1988.
He first stood at Coolmore’s Ashford Stud in Kentucky then at their facility in Ireland.
