New Zealand's greatest racehorse Lazarus has been sold to a North American syndicate in a record deal and will not race here again.

The $3.8million earner will leave for the US on May 24 where he will be aimed at a possible four-race mini career in an attempt to secure a major win there to help his dual hemisphere stallion credentials.

While the exact price is confidential the Herald estimates it must be close to $4 million when the other public offer for the five-year-old stallion is taken into account.

Lazarus has been purchase by US thoroughbred breeding giant Taylor Made Stallions, a Kentucky-based operation run by the Taylor brothers, who started their racing lives in harness racing but have concentrated on thoroughbred breeding and yearling preparation for the last three decades.

What I find amazing is that the owners finally decided to sell him right after his last start in February, which happened to be his ONLY out of the money finish ever in 45 career starts, and he finished 7th.

Because he will be a dual hemisphere stallion earning upwards of 1.5 Million/year--so they get money back in less than 4 years.

If he happens to turn out a success at stud-he will be cheap at 4 million.
