Northern Raja stands/stood here in Maryland at Worthington Farm. He was mostly used as a private stallion for racing, and had some success as a sire of runners. He was also the sire of a top hunter shown by Scotty Sherman some years back, Northern Lights. I believe he was the AHSA national champion in the greens and green conformation. Based on his success, Northern Raja's get were much in demand in the show ring, and I believe he had several other good horses.

If you have run across a nice daughter, the sire line should definitely enhance her value as a show horse broodie.

He was the 20th leading hunter sire in 2003.
