Broodmare Victorian Heiress dead at 33

Posted: Thursday, December 13, 2001

Pensioned broodmare Victorian Heiress, a daughter of Northern Dancer who produced Canadian champion Northern Blossom, died of natural causes this fall at Tranquility Farm near Tehachapi, California at the age of 33.

Bred in Canada by E. P. Taylor, Victorian Heiress won three of 12 career starts in the early 1970s for $20,590 in earnings. Out of the Windfields mare Victoriana, Victorian Heiress was a half sister to 1960 Canadian Horse of the Year Victoria Park, 1965 Canadian champion three-year-old filly Northern Queen, and stakes winners Bull Vic and Victoria Regina.

In a broodmare career hampered by fertility problems, Victoria Heiress produced seven foals, getting three starters and two winners. Northern Blossom won seven of 39 career starts with six seconds and six thirds for $270,714 in earnings. She was named champion three-year-old filly in Canada in 1983 after victories in the Wonder Where Stakes, Bison City Stakes, and Ontario Colleen Handicap. Northern Blossom also won the 1984 Nassau Stakes.

Northern Blossom would go on to become a top broodmare, producing multiple group stakes winner Jape, who was highweighted at three on the Italian Free Handicap at 14 furlongs and up in 1992. She also produced a pair of stakes-placed winners and Flying Mogambo, the dam of stakes winner Fardaan.

Victorian Heiress is also the dam of Elegant Victress, the dam of seven winners from ten starters, including stakes winners Vying Victor, Explicit, Flying Victor, and Sharp Victor.—Tom Law
