Darley had one entered the other day who came out of the same sale that I liked better than The Green Monkey. His name is Mercantile. He was entered in the 9th race this past Friday at Belmont but he scratched when the track came up sloppy. I thought he worked better than TGM at the sale. Mercantile is by Golden Missile. He went for $2 million. I'm sure he will be entered again within the next week or so.

If I have all that money:

a) I don't name a golf resort "The Green Monkey". I hire someone with more sense than me to name things.

b) When I make a mistake and do something stupid like naming a golf resort "The Green Monkey", I don't compound the mistake by spending the most ever paid for * (* = anything) and using that name as a "marketing tool".

c) If I read posts like this I go into the money room and roll around naked in $100 dollar bills until I feel better.

d) I think "scoreboard", then buy the naming rights to an NFL stadium and call it "The Green Monkey".

There is a lot of funny business that goes on at sales. Don't always believe the prices you see at sales.

I think that Joel's number is accurate.

Yeah, those sales are weird. So many behind the scenes deals that I think people forget who they have deals with.
