$14,000,000

There she is- Broodmare of the Year, stakes winner, dual classic producer, multiple stakes producer and now a world record holder. Today, Better Than Honour sold for a whopping 14 million dollars, and if ever a mare deserved it, she was it.
I'll admit, I have looked forward to the sale with extreme excitement, just dying to see what such a mare would bring. And I will admit to watching almost the entire sale on HRTV just to see her go through the ring, and what price she would bring.
As someone who once dreamed of being a bloodstock agent, I am really proud of myself that I predicted the selling price. This morning, as I babbled excitedly about watching the sales later today, my grandfather asked me how much money I thought that she would bring. My response was $12-$14 million. Hey, now that is a pretty accurate estimation!
Here's to years of watching her beautiful offspring on the racetrack. They are truly something wonderful to behold.
