what a waste of money......i mean that IS a nice horse but come on....do u have any idea how many horses in the world could be saved and moved to better homes for that price
If I had 16 million dollars I'd spend it on the the animal shelters that put animals to sleep simply because they can't care for all of them. So many animals that would be great pets are killed everyday because no one adopts them, but this horse show? What a waste....
He will be a successful racer even if he doesn't make $16000000 in earnings. He could stud out for a lot. A horse that was sold for way less then that had a $75000 stud fee. Imagine how much his is going to be!
my neighbor told me a joke about the green monkey before he raced. the green monkey was bought for 16 million turns out he's worth 100,000. lol if i'm not mistaken he got the joke from scotty schulhoffer cause he trained one of his dams i think his second dam.
Rich people have nothing better to do with their money !!!!! while people starve and live in poverty!!!!! What is wrong with this world we all live in?
@ravencassidy Think to your self real quick.... is this buyer really care about doggy ugly horses? No, if he wanted to spend his money on that he would have.
Poor horse. He's caught in the middle of a bunch of greedy money-grubbing elite. He doesn't care that some asshole spent that money. All he wants is the same as the $500.00 horse.... a nice home, adequate food, and someone to love him. Sadly, no one here loves him, they only love what he can do for them.
@gilliangirl1 He's currently standing at Hartley/De Renzo Thoroughbreds in Ocala, Florida and he'll probably die of natural causes when he's old and pensioned. Saying that all racehorses wind up being slaughtered is incredibly ignorant. What do you think OTTBs are?
@Syncraftable How many are saved versus how many are chewed up and spit out by the racing industry? You'd be shocked. I'm glad this one is still around, but the racing industry is only interested in the flavor of the month that nets it money. Look what happened to Ferdinand.
@gilliangirl1 Ferdinand is the exception, not the rule. He was sent to stud in Japan and when he became unpopular, the Japanese attempted to place him in a riding club. When that failed, they sold him to slaughter without contacting his former owners first. I think you'd be shocked to find out how many OTTBs actually DON'T go to slaughter. I think you'd be surprised to learn that there are a number of racetracks in the US that outright ban trainers that sell horses for slaughter.
@gilliangirl1 I think you'd also be surprised to learn that standardbreds are very common in slaughterhouses - they are often sold to the Amish, who drop them off at kill auctions when they go lame or become ill. The AQHA is notoriously pro-slaughter as are many of its members, and as it is the breed registry with the largest number of registered horses per year by a large margin over the Jockey Club, I wonder how many of their culls wind up in slaughterhouses?
lets face it does it really matter what they cost. To us horsey owners are horses are worth the world to us!! its what they mean to us that matters! x
16 million wtf if u want a really good horse look for a cheaper 1 they r still good u know wat i would do with 16 million dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the buyer fucking shits gold
The thing is they are taking a leap of Faith in his blood lines basically. I mean Secretariat is his Great Great Great Grand Sire. Just because he comes from a good blood line doesn't mean that he can RUN. There are plenty of horses who come from no bloodlines to speak of and they turn out to be winners.
i hate when people keep their horses in stables and barely feed them and then they sell them just for money and they dont love them thumbs up if you agree
@mickisawesome777 Maybe because there are people talking everywhere, strange horses and no doubt a pressured handler. Not to mention its probably a Thoroughbred
@mickisawesome777 its a well conditioned TB...to force him to stand might spark a blowup....so that's something you really don't do with these horses bec' it simply aggravates them, increasing their reactivity. Moving decreases the horse's anxiety. He's handling the excitement fairly well.
The owners of this horse will be LUCKY if they're able to get even a million bucks back out of the 16 mill they dropped. Zenyatta? Now that's a good return on investment. She was bought for 60 grand and made like what, 7.5mill on the tracks? Sounds like smart businesspeople there, unlike these goofs here that dropped 16mill on a horse.
Mind you I don't know shit about horseracing, but I do know what a good investment is and more specifically, return on investment. I'm sorry but paying $16mill for a horse is STUPID. The top earning racehorse ever, a horse outta Japan named Deep Impact, earned like 17mill and change on the track. What are the odds that this horse in the vid would earn anywhere near that? 1 in a million? Stupid spending by rich billionaires/millionaires that want to show off.
colmore stud in Ireland bought him ? that was during ireland's crazy spending years, and no doubt some dump developers bought him and now the innocent people have to pay ?
and he was bought for flat racing not jumps or dressage or anything else most flat horses cant jump that well as theyre just not bred for it theyre bred for speed and thats what the people that bought him where looking for a racehorse not a showjumper or a dressage horse or anything else and the people that bought him are worth billions so 16 million is prob nothing to them
just goes to show that you can pay all the money in the world and youll not get a good racehorse out of it as theres was one bought in ireland for 350,000 euros and she was useless great breeding stunning horse but just didnt have the ability and i know thats not a huge amount of money compared to 16 million but for national hunt horse it is and there have been ones bought for a few hundred and theyve been the best
That is the most ridiculous thing I have seen in my entire life. I really feel bad for Coolmore, since they paid a very pretty penny for him and he gave them...nothing, just a reputation for buying the most expensive horse ever. But they wanted him...
And what Coolmore wants, Coolmore gets. At least they had the money to take this insane risk. Beautiful horse. Just cause he wasn't good for racing, doesn't mean he isn't good for anything else.They should've retrained him, cause I sure want him=)
@KaitlinRenae: You haven't a clue do you? Hahaha some selfish billionaire who doesn't know what he's doing?!? He was just bought by the most successful breeding operation IN THE WORLD. Check out coolmore.com and get a clue before you post stupid comments
@MsSunnyRainy They didn't spend $16M on him to jump him. He was bred to race and bought by people looking for a racehorse. He failed as a racehorse, so they sent him to stud in the hopes of recouping SOME of the money they lost on him. Horses like this don't get second careers, they get early retirement.
He's pretty but if I'm going to pay 16M for a horse he better not have one conformation fault, have the best lineage, have awesome ground manners, fully broken and trained and he better know some damn good dressage moves and jump the moon!
@barboro1 He's a 2 year old thoroughbred. He is an overgrown baby with a ton of energy that is supplemented by grain (which gives even MORE energy), surrounded by lots of people making lots of noise and an announcer making even louder noise. It has nothing to do with training.
With him being a young horse is exactly why he should not have a chain on his mouth I have raised a lot of horses and never have I used a chain not even on weenlings it just goes to show all these people care about is racing they don't give a damn about properly training a horse so long as its fast they don't care @Jailbirdx
curious about why you mention not mouth shanking 2 yr olds- i.e young horses. I Hot Walk part time and always , if they aren't worked that day , just walked and no Tranq , the chain is put in the mouth. I am told to distract an otherwise overly frisky walking session in the shedrow. They spend the entire time chewing on it.Would be interested in hearing your view in more detail. Mouth too tender at that age ?
@dravenousone Fun fact: Secretariat doesn't have a sister named Missed Opportunity. The coin toss between Meadow Stud and Ogden Phipps decided who would get which foal from two back to back Somethingroyal - Bold Ruler breedings. Phipps won and chose the 1969 filly, The Bride. The Meadow was left with the 1970 colt, Secretariat. Hasty Matilda and her filly, Missed Opportunity, never existed.
Quite a bit of that movie strayed from historical fact.
He hasn't won one race! He raced twice, 3rd and came 4th in a race for no-hopers. Then was retired. Stud fee is 5,000..... Goes to show money doesn't buy you everything!
You don't spend $16m on a race-horse, you pay $16m for the quality of the genes. Do you think the bidder was thinking "I hope he wins my money back" as he gave the winning bid?
he bought it for 16 milllion $ but doese he actually love the horse ??? beebbooo bbbeababbabababbabababobobob blevlble bulby bhvjf 123 going gone sold $16 milllion
What is so sad and sickening over this expenditure, is that in Florida, where this auction took place, there are thousands of homeless people. This horse is going to live a few years and die. The horse is beautiful, but had the purchaser used that money to house men, women, and children, to help the poor and needy, then he or she would had been blessed far more exceedingly, than for spending that kind of money on a horse. It is so sad that crazy people are blessed with this kind of wealth.
The funny thing is the guy who lost the bidding war walked away the real winner seeing that the horse didnt win back even a fraction of that. It doesnt matter how much money you have thats just fuckin ridiculous. its a great looking horse but there is nothing about this animal that sets it millions of dollars apart from another horse.
UNBELIEVABLE!!!! that someone has THAT much money 0_0 beautiful horse but omg that money could have rescused millions of NEEDY horse :/ whatever tho thats just how the world works Who is this horse anyways? :) Hes pretty but id never pay that much money for ANYTHING mostly because i DONT have that much money
Such a shame he was a failure on the track- then again, I always love it when the horses that cost less win. Still, beautiful horse. I hope he can sire good racers.
The most powerful men in horse racing - John Magnier (Coolmore) and Sheikh Mohammed (Godolphin) bid him up. Thats the SECOND "dud" World Record price that Coolmore have bought out of the USA - they paid I think $13m in 1983 and he was crap too. Good to see the "little horses" doing well, a Group 1 winner in 2010 cost only £23,000 as a yearling at the sales. Who says yearling that cost millions will be super stars? Not me.
lets straighten all this confusion out. first, he is in no way shape or form part QH is a purebred, thoroughbred. He's by a TB stallion out of a TB mare. And no, $16 million will not necessarily buy you a triple crown winner. And, racehorses DO NOT get shot OR sent to slaughter, in the past, yes they have been, but now a days, it does not happen anymore.
hahaha you can't hear a f'ing words what he is (i don't know what you call that person) saying xD

He's a beauty, that's for sure.. but like Secretariat's sister, Missed Opportunity, beauty simply isn't enough.

@dravenousone Fun fact: Secretariat doesn't have a sister named Missed Opportunity. The coin toss between Meadow Stud and Ogden Phipps decided who would get which foal from two back to back Somethingroyal - Bold Ruler breedings. Phipps won and chose the 1969 filly, The Bride. The Meadow was left with the 1970 colt, Secretariat. Hasty Matilda and her filly, Missed Opportunity, never existed.
Quite a bit of that movie strayed from historical fact.

Haha, just did some research..
He hasn't won one race! He raced twice, 3rd and came 4th in a race for no-hopers. Then was retired. Stud fee is 5,000..... Goes to show money doesn't buy you everything!

I think for the two bidders at the end it wasn't so much about who got the horse but more about them just showing off their fat wallets.

You don't spend $16m on a race-horse, you pay $16m for the quality of the genes. Do you think the bidder was thinking "I hope he wins my money back" as he gave the winning bid?

What is so sad and sickening over this expenditure, is that in Florida, where this auction took place, there are thousands of homeless people. This horse is going to live a few years and die. The horse is beautiful, but had the purchaser used that money to house men, women, and children, to help the poor and needy, then he or she would had been blessed far more exceedingly, than for spending that kind of money on a horse. It is so sad that crazy people are blessed with this kind of wealth.

The funny thing is the guy who lost the bidding war walked away the real winner seeing that the horse didnt win back even a fraction of that. It doesnt matter how much money you have thats just fuckin ridiculous. its a great looking horse but there is nothing about this animal that sets it millions of dollars apart from another horse.

I don't care if his pedigree is GODLY, I would never buy a racehorse with poor conformation. Look how long his topline is!

Such a shame he was a failure on the track- then again, I always love it when the horses that cost less win. Still, beautiful horse. I hope he can sire good racers.
burningrosegirl98 1 year ago
The most powerful men in horse racing - John Magnier (Coolmore) and Sheikh Mohammed (Godolphin) bid him up. Thats the SECOND "dud" World Record price that Coolmore have bought out of the USA - they paid I think $13m in 1983 and he was crap too. Good to see the "little horses" doing well, a Group 1 winner in 2010 cost only £23,000 as a yearling at the sales. Who says yearling that cost millions will be super stars? Not me.

You can get a nice investment real estate for
$16,000,000.
That man should have given me the money
so I could have gotten off SSI giving a
disabled person a chance to own a bussiness
then lose on that horse.

His Pedigree says that he only had 3 starts, i think its wrong to judge a horse on that.

crazywatergirl923 1 year ago
lets straighten all this confusion out. first, he is in no way shape or form part QH is a purebred, thoroughbred. He's by a TB stallion out of a TB mare. And no, $16 million will not necessarily buy you a triple crown winner. And, racehorses DO NOT get shot OR sent to slaughter, in the past, yes they have been, but now a days, it does not happen anymore.

Stupid rich fucktards! No one is willing to pay f.e. 16 Million for a bunch of hostages, but a stupid horse - of course, why noooot?
Hope the owner rides the horse, falls of the horse and breaks his neck. -.-"
No envy - just sick of those people.
