The Green Monkey is not the most expensive horse ever.
He is not even in the top 50.
He is, however, a horse that went through a public auction and his final figure at the time the hammer slammed down represents the highest ever in this type of venue.
He also has the "distinction" of having at public auction achieved the highest final figure for an unraced horse.
But there are tons of horses that have sold for more money, among then being Hard Spun, Street Sense and Any Given Saturday, who are a year older and sold privately.
