From Thoroughbred Daily News before he debuted:

Alcindor is one of four very expensive full-brothers out of the Storm Cat mare Zing. Grade II-winner Half Ours sold for $625,000 in ‘04 as a yearling at KEESEP, then fetched a record $6.1M as a three-year-old at KEENOV after winning the Three Chimneys Juvenile S. Zong brought $1.7M as a KEENOV weanling in ‘05, but is unplaced; Europe, who was in utero when Zing went for $3.6M at KEENOV in ‘05, sold the following year as a yearling for $2.6M at KEESEP, but is also unplaced; and Alcindor was knocked down for $1.15M at KEESEP in ‘08. Zing was barren in 2008, and has an unnamed 2009 filly by Distorted Humor who went for $275,000 at this year’s KEESEP sale.

Wasn't Half Ours sold in November of his 2YO season?

Nevermind, guess he was sold for that much coin as a 3YO, and that was after a gang of early career injuries. A fool and his money...or something.

It wasn't a random sale. Is was essentially, as I recall, one partner buying out another. I believe it involved Barry Schwartz and Aaron Jones....but you should be able to look it up without much effort. Myself....I'm going to dinner.
