Bull Page, who was also the sire of Canadian Hall of Famer New Providence, was an important early acquisition in Taylor's breeding enterprise.
Despite his racing ability, Bull Page had soundness issues related to conformation defects that he passed on in varying degrees to his offspring.
As a two-year-old, Flaming Page had only two wins from seven starts,[1] but one of those was the Shady Well Stakes at Woodbine and the other was an allowance race at Aqueduct in the United States.
[3][4] In 1962, Flaming Page started her three-year-old campaign in the United Stakes, where the highlight was a second-place finish in the Kentucky Oaks to future U.S.
One week later, she faced the colts in the Queen's Plate, where she and stablemate Choperion ran one-two as the even money favorites.
[4][5] After the Queen's Plate, Flaming Page returned to the United Stakes where she suffered a career-ending injury in the Coaching Club American Oaks.
She is most famous for producing The Minstrel (by Northern Dancer), winner of the Epsom and Irish Derbies and King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes and was 1977 Horse of the Year in England.
In 1969, Flaming Page suffered difficulties foaling another Northern Dancer colt, which subsequently died.
