What Is The Most Expensive Pet In The World?

Unfortunately, Bloodhorse.com reports that his career didn't live up to the hype. Injury and health issues limited poor Green Monkey to just three career starts, amounting to a grand total of $10,440 in winnings.

Sadly, he was euthanized in 2018 after battling laminitis for four years, an illness which disrupts blood flow to the feet, according to the American Association of Equine Practitioners.

However, there was a silver lining for this golden horse, with a short but productive career as a stud. As you may know, horses with good genes generally retire to a gigolo lifestyle. Horse owners are willing to pay top dollar for a prize horse's "services."

In the case of Green Monkey, in his one year as a bona fide stud, he serviced 40 mares, providing hope for a brighter future of amazing, expensive race horses. Stay golden, pony boy.
