Longchamps - (Whorsewhispers): Official: he's now the most expensive three year old colt ever.
And getting him to shag your prize broodmare next spring will cost you an arm and a leg plus at least three million squid.
"He's worth nigh on $100,000 for every pound of his weight," trainer John Oxx surmised, "and about half a million for just a teaspoon of his ejaculate!"
That's Oxx's best guess after Sea the Stars demolished a class field at Londchamp today, bagging a superb Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
"Of course if he wins the Breeders Cup you can double those numbers!" Oxx confides as yet another begging letter arrives from potential syndicate investors the Maktoums of Dubai.
Shaikh Mohammed once bought the world's biggest equine lemon when he paid nearly $14 million for the yearling Snaafi Dancer.
The tragicall sperm-challenged thoroughbred turned out to be a priceless dud who went lame before keeling over dead without winning so much as a donkey derby.
