The Green Monkey, the two-year-old Forestry colt that sold for a record-setting $16-million at the Fasig-Tipton February sale of two-year-olds in training, arrived in trainer Todd Pletcher's barn at Churchill Downs on Friday.

Pletcher said he is not certain when the highest-priced horse ever sold at public auction will make his career debut.

"We don't really have a schedule," Pletcher said. "We just got him in and he hasn't really been doing much since the sale. We'll just take it day by day and get him into a steady program and let him tell us when he's ready."

As the Eclipse Award winner for outstanding trainer in 2004 and '05, Pletcher has been in the spotlight plenty. But he admits that having such a high-profile young horse in his stable is unprecedented.

"I would say he's certainly the most anticipated arrival we've ever had," Pletcher said. "It goes without saying that we'll be under a lot more scrutiny with a horse like that, but at the end of the day you've got to treat him like the rest of them. Otherwise, you'll drive yourself crazy."
