    Not sure if this has been seen before but it is fantastic. Love the auctioneer.

    The Green Monkey

    Auctioneer not as good but incredible to see. Skip to about half way to see the auction underway. Got a feeling they may now be thinking they spent a tad too much.

    Wow, great find there.

    The flash photography was a bit upsetting to watch though. The Green Monkey was getting very spooked by it all. You’d think some common sense would prevail at these high-priced yearling sales. Surely it can’t be good to mentally scar your new multi-million dollar thoroughbred before it even gets to the racetrack!

    This shows the difference between Keeneland and Fasig-Tipton. Keeneland has a better auctioneer, an excellent team of handlers that know exactly how to keep a horse calm in the spotlight- not jerking them around like in TGM’s video.
