The Green Monkey
The Green Monkey (foaled February 4, 2004 in Florida) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse. A descendant of both Northern Dancer and Secretariat, The Green Monkey was sold in 2006 as a two-year-old colt for the highest price ever paid (current to 2014) at auction for a Thoroughbred—$16,000,000.
==Background==
At the January 2006 Fasig-Tipton Calder sale of selected two-year-olds, The Green Monkey was sold for a world-record auction price of $16 million (equal to about $ million today). He joins nine other descendants of Northern Dancer who clinch the entire list of the ten most expensive colts sold at auction (current to 2014).
The colt's new owners gave him the name because of their connections with The Green Monkey golf course in Barbados, named after the island's green monkeys. As well, the colt was foaled in the Chinese year of the green/wooden monkey.〔http://www.barbados.org/monkeys.htm〕
