Horse sold in Florida auction for $16 million (http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/13986065.htm)

An unraced horse was sold for $16 million at Calder Race Course, breaking the previous world record set more than two decades ago.
BY MONICA HATCHER

Nameless, Florida-born colt shattered a world record Tuesday for the most expensive horse sold at auction, selling for $16 million after an electrifying 10 minutes of bidding at Calder Race Course in Miami Gardens.

You can bet this horse is Kentucky Derby material.
The previous record of $13.1 million was set in 1985 for Seattle Dancer, whose lineage included Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew, according to industry publication

So true. I'm always amused by people who announce excitedly: "I got a free horse off the track!!" Boy, are THEY in for an awakening.
