Empire Glory
Empire Glory (foaled April 8, 1981) was a Thoroughbred racehorse who was sold for a world record price as a yearling in 1982. He proved to be just short of top class in a brief racing career, winning the Royal Whip Stakes and finishing second in the Irish St Leger. He made little impact as a breeding stallion.
==Background==
Empire Glory was a bay or brown horse bred in Kentucky by Mortin Levy & Myron Rosenthal's Glencoe Farm. His dam Spearfish had won the Hollywood Oaks in 1966 and had produced the leading North American racehorse King's Bishop and the Irish 1000 Guineas winner Gaily. Through Gaily, she was also the ancestor of Pilsudski.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sedbury Royal Mare - Family 11 )〕 Empire Glory was sired by the Triple Crown winner Nijinsky.
In 1982 he was consigned by Glencoe Farm to the Keeneland Sales where he was sold sold for a record-setting $4.25 million ($ million inflation adjusted) to the bloodstock agents BBA (Ireland) on behalf of the British businessman Robert Sangster after a prolonged bidding battle with representatives of Sheikh Mohammed.〔http://www.keeneland.com/sites/default/files/shared/451/Milestones.pdf〕 The colt was sent to Europe and was trained by Vincent O'Brien at Ballydoyle.
