The Green Monkey is an appealing story because it is so out of the realm of the real world of horseracing and breeding. Of course the sale was suspicious from the start and remains so. There was no intent on this horse being a top horse or stallion, if it happened than it happened. The reason that the price went to what it went for is a complex situation that has to do with factors that most of us dont know about.
The fact is that there is a 16 million dollar price tag on the head of a pretty average horse, who is owned by very wealthy guys who got what they wanted.
