To put Northern Dancer ahead of Kelso is as crazy as claiming that Archie Manning was a better NFL QB than Joe Montana, Johnny Unitas, and Dan Marino.
Archie Manning did make two pro bowls in his long NFL career - but his career record as a starting quarterback was 35-101-3 and he never once had a single winning season. But, he sired Payton and Eli !!
Northern Dancer was not a 2yo champion but he was a 3yo champion the year Kelso claimed his 5th straight Horse of the Year title. Imagine telling someone 45 years ago that Northern Dancer was a better race horse than Kelso and Citation.
