The Friday File: The highest-priced stallion syndication was for Fusaichi Pegasus at a reported $60 million in 2000, while the record stud fee remains $500,000 for Northern Dancer in the mid-1980’s. The most paid for a thoroughbred at auction was $16 million in 2006 for two year-old The Green Monkey (who retired from racing after going 0-3), bettering the previous record of $13.1 million for Seattle Dancer in 1985.
