9Snaafi Dancer – Price: $10.2 million
Next on our top list is Snaafi Dancer, foaled February 25, 1982. The Thoroughbred racehorse was the first yearling to sell for more than $10 million.
Bred by Donald T. Johnson under the name of his Crescent Farm, Snaafi Dancer was sired by Northern Dancer.
His dam, My Bupers, had previously produced several winners, including the American Champion Sprint Horse My Juliet and the Champagne Stakes winner Lyphard’s Special.
Unfortunately, Snaafi Dancer never raced. Considered far too slow to even bother, Snaafi Dancer had also fertility problems, making him useless for breeding as well.
