Nureyev was a bay horse with a white blaze and white sock on his right hind leg bred in Kentucky by the Claiborne Farm. He was sired by Northern Dancer out of the mare Special, making him a half brother of to several winners including Fairy Bridge, the dam of Sadler's Wells.

It's like you never forget
The way it's got to be
It's nobody's concern
Cause they don't know how it burns
When you're not here with me
So am I wrong or up my way in the sky
Cause I can never deny
These feelings
How can I ever stop
When I don't want to give up
This is my reason
Reason (repeat)
Cause I get you, I get you
And you get me, you get me
It's that simple, It's that simple
Don't matter what we are
Cause we don't ever fall

Cause I can never deny
