...sold for the bargain price of $39,000, the Australian-bred sprinter has won more than $6 million in career earnings and scored 17 consecutive victories, eclipsing the record of 16 held by champions Ribot, Citation and Cigar. His unlikely rise and winning ways have made the horse an icon in his gambling-obsessed hometown, although the loss means touted trips to high-stakes races in Japan and the U.S. may not happen.
