Default SI article Green Monkey or Green Bust?

Got my new SI and there was an article on the Green Monkey.

In a nutshell the article basically says how Coolmore and Darley were involved in a battle of egos & power to get the GM at the sale last year. The author puts it in persepctive though saying that $16M is chump change for Coolmore as Giants Causeway is being bred to about 300 mares per year at $300K a pop, so don't worry about them.

The article goes on to say that the GM will be grazing in a pasture somewhere in Kentucky on the first Saturday in May instead of entering the starting gate and running off with "his" Derby. The article concludes by saying that at this point the Green Monkey is a bust.

Sorry I'm at work and couldn't access SI to post a link to the article darn filters.
