I agree he is beautiful but you never saw his ancestor, Secretariat!

@@patriciacollier2404 yes I am a Secretariat fan very much so the greatest horse ever

I can't wait to see justifies offsprings I know they will be as beautiful . Its exciting to see what they will be champions no doubt

@@peightonstorm1053 YES! They will be perfection!

I have one of justifies paintings hanging above my desk I just love it it's the cutest thing it was called a moneigh for charity through second stride I believe

But who's to know? A wrong step and a career is over. It's a horse race (riskier yet, three of them).

far o'war 2,5 k

Hind sight is 20/20. Always a risk buying these high dollar horses. Not all of ever make the money back and end up dudes.

@Sharon Murray the GOAT

John Doe c

julie hertz he is lame as hell right now 😥

No he's not. lol

Julie hertz he did the same thing American Pharoh did as of yesterday (6/9) he got the triple crown.

And as of Saturday he became the thirteenth one!

@@itsemilee1502 what?

Now THAT'S funny!

Scat daddy's Dad is storm cat

Scat Daddy is by the Storm Cat line but he is not his Daddy Scat Daddy’s father is Johannesburg, Grand dad is Hennessy great grandad is Storm Cat

JUNIOR M ....you would have pay more now that he has been introduced to you as a champ. No one at the sales paid more.

Agustin DeJesus it was a joke considering he already won the Derby when I commented... LoL

Joke not funny

Donald Jarvis III yeah it was. Go to sleep

Lyre Burch Justify will keep proving dumbass haters like you wrong The Best Of the Best undefeated in the triple Crown Jewels not even American Pharaoh did that fucken lame

Lyre Burch no I called you a lame , because you apparently don’t know anything about the sport of horse racing , they retire after a certain age and some horses get long Lay Offs by their trainers/Owners there’s been horses with 2 year long lay offs they don’t just run and run and run Trainers put them in races they know they have chances in they don’t just run everyday every race

Lyre Burch horses were born to run especially thoroughbreds I’ll agree 3 races in 5 weeks Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont is a lot for a horse to take but that’s why the triple crown is hard to accomplish only a super horse has the heart to win all 3 jewels of the crown

Lyre Burch I’m not sure why you called justify a dead lame do you know how hard it is to stay undefeated especially with all this Triple crown pressure he literally debuted not more than 2 months ago and he’s already doing great things HES A SUPER HORSE

Lyre Burch his giant strides will get him through this challenge he’ll be greater than secretariat !! I saw him debut at santa Anita and I saw his 2nd race and 3rd race at the santa Anita derby I love justify and he deserves nothing but respect

Justify is a he :)

He ended up getting over his nerves yesterday (6/9) winning the triple crown. However, here's hoping that he's able to go into the Breeders Cup Classic. He is impressive that he never did any races in his juvenile phase (like American Pharoah did).

Megan Proffitt ...that is when some lucky guy paid half a million dollars for him, looking like that....a nervous wreck. He was not nervous, he was worried is he was going to end up at baffert barn and them running in the triple crown.

He is actually rather calm for a yearling colt thoroughbred in that kind of situation...that is what helped him compete so well.

@@myronschabe Yes, I own thoroughbreds, thanks. :)

@@joemac9249 Doesn’t need to be.

And would have been unbelievably expensive if he'd bowed a tendon in training as a 2YO and never raced. Had that happened he would have been gelded and forgotten.

75m is his overall breeding rights, not his stud fee. No one would ever pay 75m for a cover off ANY horse.

NaOCl That's what his breeding rights are, I believe. No mare owner would pay that much per cover. AP is only $300,000.00

Hannah H decades ago it was reported that Northern Dancer's stud fee was $1,000,000

elias perdedor Considering how often I see him (in papers), it seems like he was in enough demand that could be close. And with all the money in TBs, even then, it would make sense.

@@hannahc6049 no one would ever pay 75 million dollars on a cover off justify, the 75 million is speculated breeding rights, NOT for a cover. No horse in history has ever won 75 million on the track, thats ridiculous to think hes 75m for a cover.

@@OfficialMuffiin That's literally what I said??? That the 75 mil was breeding rights not stud fee??

ZenyattaFan1 he is undefeated 4 times including the Kentucky derby

I was kidding. LOL.

Undefeated 5 times now Kentucky Derby, Preakness Winner Justify

6 time winner including the triple crown

Lol

I don't know if you've gotten an answer, but it means a yearling sold at Keeneland Sales winning a race. The announcers on TVG say that a lot.

You refused to pick a horse because the name? lol

Yes and yes, but I don't pick because of names. lol

Megan Proffitt You can see my posts before the race and I've got hundreds of witnesses. But it is complicated I just say by their names to keep from getting into a long discussion. This is the most I've ever talked about it. But I guess names are important to God he changed a few etc.

Wayne Harrison Well after the Preakness and the way they gained on him at the end I was wondering. But Mile said he had a lot more just didn't need it. The Belmont is long. I'm sticking with him. This is the race to hit a triple or box one.

Wayne Harrison It seems like the Derby is sloppy about 1/3 of the time.

He was a very big colt with questionable front legs not designed to take a lot of pounding. He wasn't sound enough to race at 2, only made 6 races at 3 before going sore and being retired. It wasn't a question of if his front pins would give out but when. Baffert managed to nurse him along just enough to run in the Triple Crown and that was the end of his racing career. Bidders were leery of putting out a lot of bucks on a horse with obvious soundness issues in his future.

A lot of nice horses go into the auction and end up being useless at running. It's easy to say after the fact that he's a decent horse but before that no one knows whether he'll be any good or not.

Read above comment by DoubleDogDare...he is a beauty but too much mass for his front legs...not a build to be sustainable, though obviously he was brilliant when sound.

​@@myronschabe now he is the 13 triple crown winner

The consignment number for the horse is placed on his HIP. I know this sounds flippant but I was curious one time while watching an auction and googled it.

That’s the number he is in the auction.

Sockpupppet Extraordinaire Horses are as smart as a toddler... They can't exactly say what they want in so many words. TBs make up a fraction of the horses in kill pens, the majority go on to the breeding shed or to be sport horses.

And now hes living the dream of covering mares often and getting the best care in the world.

babsfocker His owners nickname is Scat, Jimmy Scatuorchio, I believe

babsfocker I think it also means "run away"!! For example, "Scat cat,get lost"!!!!. Lol I remember that sentence from a 1st grade reader... I would imagine it comes from the word SCATTER??

This is a business. Also no human would be able to manage a corral of hundreds of horses. Some people have gone to jail, or turned them over to the humane society/ASPCA because they got over their head by trying to take care of one or two.

Kimberly Potts 🐴

They have been prepared and schooled for these few minutes since they were born. They are fine. If they were truly "terrified" they bolt right out of the sales ring and charge through the crowd. You will notice they don't do so. Because they have been conditioned for it for many months before being taken to the sale. You make it sound like they are BLM mustangs when they are very expensive Thoroughbred yearlings that have been carefully handled and trained well since they were foaled.

It is big business to breed horses and produce foals.

many of the owners have to manage hundreds of horses on their farm so selling the best ones will bring money to them which they will later use to keep their farm open.

Trainers do training, breeders do breeding. The best of the best specialize in one thing and one thing only. A stud has to focus on stallion and mare care, prepping foals for sales, dealing with any pregnancy issues or foal issues, prepping stallions and mares for breeding, working with blood agents to get the best breeding stock, etc. It's a huge business that takes a lot of time and wisdom to do right (and take money at it too). Trainers have a completely different job, buying the best yearlings, getting them broke to ride, training them correctly so their bodies are developed and muscles are ready for the work involved, getting the best jockeys for training and racing, getting the horse ready for track life, dealing with any set backs (disease/injury) that might occur, assessing horse's ability to race well, etc etc. You can only be good at one usually and most can't even handle one thing well enough to make a good income.

Robert Arriola ...robert it is all business. Many of the foals never make it to the races.

Agustin DeJesus that is correct. Many foals end up doing something other than racing like dressage, equestrian jump, rodeo, trail horses, therapy horses, etc.
