The Green Monkey was the most expensive thoroughbred race horse ever sold at public auction. I was at the 2006 fasig-tipton select two year old sale and managed to capture this amazing video as he went through the ring and two bidders kept adding $1 Million onto the price. Follow along and enjoy the action, it's quite amazing.

I really didn't understand the hype surrounding this horse because there just wasn't enough horse physically and i still believe Lion Heart and Favorite Trick had better 1/8 mile drills. The Green Monkey later raced and was a failure on the track never even winning a race. He was retired early and currently stands at stud for $5,000.

Here's his pedigree:

  • This was grandstanding for mega loaded EGOS to outspend each other in public. Showoffs! lol! Great entertainment!

    Apparently, the buyer shits gold on a regular basis. :-)

  • 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....
