Psst. Here's a hot tip. Seasons with The Green Monkey are really cheap. Have a stakes winning broodmare looking for a hot date? It just might be worth $5000.
Now I am far from being well versed in pedigree and/or the science of equine breeding, but sometimes a dud on the track can beget runners. Because we all know it works both ways.
The Green Monkey, you might recall, sold for $16 million, the highest price ever for a horse sold at public auction to Coolmore Stud. He raced three times, finishing third once and fourth twice. He was retired this year having never won a race.
But he is a magnificent animal, the son of Forestry out of the winning Unbridled mare Magical Masquerade and these days $5000 is dirt cheap.
And it would be such an amazing story if his progeny turned it all around...
You know there's a lot of luck as well as a lot of science involved in this sport. If I had a decent broodmare, I'd go for it. Because you never know....
Of course, there's a sucker born every minute so take your pick.
