$4m For A Horse? | The Most Expensive Horse Of 2019 | Aussie Pride Sold At Keeneland Yearling Sale

The Keeneland September Yearling Sale in Kentucky is one of the biggest thoroughbred horse racing auctions in the world.
Sheikh Mohammed's Godolphin purchased a colt by Curlin (winner of the Preakness Stakes, Breeders' Cup Classic and Dubai World Cup) out of New Zealand champion sprinter Bounding for $4.1M USD (HIP 274).
The colt became the most expensive yearling sold at public auction anywhere in the world in 2019.
They also acquired a grey colt by Tapit (HIP 75), who is a half-brother to Kentucky Derby winner Nyquist (Breeders' Cup Juvenile) for $2.5M USD.

Think she went for 8.4 million and will be worth every penny of it

[@gboo9490]

The horse is saying for me

[@youdoonedoes3984]

What is this handler up to: particularly If one was dead-centre in the audience you’d see a lot of his back & the animal’s head... even the cameras agreed, and changed position.

Named Aussie Pride

[@madi1808]

That is not correct. The most expensive horse was 70 million!

[@verina4118]

Jeah, and that was the most exoensic racehorse 2019...

[@deapthynka1]

So what did the give the horse to make him act so energetic and hot blooded. That temperament was what drove that price up

[@gazehoundgal]

Tom T. Temperament doesn't drive price, pedigree and potential earnings do that. And they don't "give" those horses anything, that's how Thoroughbreds are, especially youngsters.

[@deapthynka1]

@@gazehoundgal thanks

[@Luvtallhorses]

If ignorance is bliss you are very happy

[@alainaequestrian4289]

I’m actually one sold for 9.5 million so yeah not the most expensive

Et il y a des gens qui meurent de faim par millions ...

It's not there fault blame your government. Your government is the reason you are starving blame them they are not starving. Heak your government was probably the one who was bidding while his own people can't eat. So blame them

[@horseracingpassioninkorea7877]

Why day itsthe most expensive horse. Come on wake up

[@carinebuss.5262]

Godolphin 🤷

[@MsLinjohn]

Lots of starving horses need food. Please put some money on rescue

[@meganproffitt424]

I don't think you know who bought this horse.

[@cassdean2200]

Not even remotely close to the most expensive "racehorse" in the world, or even at Keeneland in 2019. The most expensive yearling at Keeneland in 2019 was a daughter of Lesley's Lady, also dam of 4 time champion Beholder and leading sire Into Mischief. She brought $8.2 million.

[@LauraJdogmom]

I was at the sale that day. It was amazing.

[@meganproffitt424]

Read...

[@r38658]

Rich people who buy and racehorses do not care whether they will recoup their investment, Bragging right is worth Millions.

[@madison_b1818]

Wth are u paying that much for. I get the horse but man. It’s almost as if ur paying for secretariat to be the father of your foal, like breeding him. Jeez.

[@OfficialMuffiin]

The horses sold in the video have top class pedigrees.

[@madison_b1818]

rubles makes sense now. Lol 😂

[@purisraarkhaufnakstories]

BOL

[@lorna5535]

That's not the most expensive racehorse in the world. Havre De Grace sold for $10 million and the stallions that recently retired, much more. Justify, American Pharaoh for a couple.

[@lindaterrell5535]

Lorna Edge It’s a big wad of money for an unproven colt. They’re bidding on his bloodlines.

[@lorna5535]

Linda Terrell, Buying bloodlines is fine but if the horse is poorly conformed, has any deficit, bloodlines don't count much, do they.

[@MsLinjohn]

Damn give a little bit of your money to the starving neglected former racehorses and other horses. Rescue and feed them

[@meganproffitt424]

I don't think you know who bought this horse.

[@earlybustout8089]

This is not the most expensive horse in the world. You a not well informed. There are dozens of previous sellers for much higher amounts. I would not include this one in the top 20 with ease. Do some research before making such claims.

[@OfficialMuffiin]

In 2019

[@dfygoh3215]

this auctioneer is awesome, maybe he can sell my damn Wife

[@barbaradyson6951]

Bullshit the most expensive racehorse was sold to coolmore stud for $70 million, so this horse is not the most expensive.

[@meganproffitt424]

Too bad you can't read.

[@digby3618]

Not even close to the most expensive racehorse in the world. Lacking fact checking here

[@meganproffitt424]

D-did you read where it says 2019...? Like literally at the end of the title...

[@Luvtallhorses]

Not even close to the most expensive

[@charlesnelson7781]

So annoying auctioneer 🤬

[@redpill5471]

You are not very knowledgeable about race horses. 4 million? Cheap for a race horse. Do more research.

[@OfficialMuffiin]

4 million for an unproven yearling is way overpriced. Unless the pedigree was top class.

[@meganproffitt424]

I don't think you know as much as you think.

[@patriciagregory7699]

He was not the most expensive racehorse Secretariat was the most expensive race was at 6.1 million dollars come on now know your history on horses

[@karenshaub8273]

Secretariat wasn't sold for $6.08 million, he was syndicated by a group of 30 or more investors who each owned a share of him. It's being picky I know. I regard as "sale" as one owner buying a horse. Very old fashioned I know. He WAS sold, just to a group of people so no one really took a big risk.

[@Papillonmom53]

Yes Big Red was Syndicated for 6 million and no horse today or in our lifetimes will be able to do what he did . He was the greatest racehorse that ever lived !

[@WorldHorseRacing]

Hey Patricia! This was the most expensive horse in 2019 at the time of writing - not the most expensive of all time. 👍

[@wbrettgray6544]

In the 80s 1 breeding share(1of 100) of Seattle slew was worth 1.2 million valuing him at 120 million.

[@donnasilverthrone6928]

I don’t like the way they handle them horse’s 😞 show some respect to animals you get paid to much money 💔

[@JoseROrtiz-sm7kr]

Agreed! JRO

[@gazehoundgal]

Those handlers are highly qualified horsemen. You try holding several million dollars worth of horse so that they remain calm and safe, and are shown to their best advantage for prospective buyers. Not an easy job.

[@damonejohnson6098]

You're a idiot who obviously just wanted to make a comment.

[@damonejohnson6098]

Shut up Lady

[@gazehoundgal]

Damone Johnson - and you're obviously an idiot that's never handled a Thoroughbred racehorse or worked in a top end sales facility.
