That US$16m colt has been named. The Thoroughbred Times reports today that his name "The Green Monkey" is the same as the Barbados golf course owned by John Magnier, Derrick Smith, and Michael Tabor that was opened the year the colt was born.

Out of interest there are 233 Australian thoroughbreds with the word 'green' in their name. You could have your choice of a Green Ant/Apple/Anchor/Ballerina/Cadillac/ Coral/Jacket/Jeans/Ice/Lad/Lady/Moss/Orchid/Palm/ Paper/Ribbon/Rocket/Seal/Shoes/Twig/Vine/Yacht.

There are 32 names that include 'Monkey' ... but green isn't attached to any of them.
