00:06 10. Jalil
00:10 $9.7 million One of the most expensive horses of all time
00:18 was Jalil. This racehorse was sired by Stormcat and was fouled in February 2004.
00:29 Sheikh Mohammed bought Jalil for $9.7 million on behalf of the Go Dolphin Racing operation.
00:39 Its official racing career started in 2006 after being trained by Saeed Bin Sarour in
00:45 Europe. Its first race was at the age of 2 and after a short but successful career of

01:04 industry.
01:07 9. Snaafi Dancer $10.2 million
01:16 The first racehorse ever to be sold for a price above $10 million was the Snaafi Dancer.
01:25 This stunning horse was sired by the famous Northern Dancer. It was bred by Donald T.
01:31 Johnson. It was auctioned at Kenealand Select Sale in 1983, where Sheikh Mohammed's Austin
01:41 Upthorpe Stud won the auction and paid $10.2 million for the horse.
01:48 Snaafi was bought and trained as a racehorse at first, but was soon found to be unfit for
01:55 the job due to its slow pace and some fertility issues. Because of this, it was retired in
02:03 the same year at a farm in Florida.
02:09 8. Maiden City $11.7 million
02:20 Named after a development scheme in Dubai, the Maiden City was bred at the JF Stables
02:27 and was sold at the Kenealand September Sale in 2006.
02:34 Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Maktoum bought this horse for $11.7 million and sent it to
02:43 Mubarak bin Shafia for training at the Mark Lewis Stable. Despite its high price, Maiden
02:50 didn't prove to be any luck for its owner as it was raced seven times and didn't win
02:55 a single race.
02:59 It was further sold to Austin Upthorpe Stud in 2016 but still won no race.
03:07 7. Seattle Dancer $13.1 million
