The colt by Nijinsky out of the mare My Charmer, was a half sister to Seattle Slew. $13.1 million US Dollars in 1985 would be worth approximate $29.42 million US Dollars in 2016 based on inflation. Converted to Australian Dollars at today's cash rate (not wholesale), this yearling would've been worth $44,130,000 million Australian Dollars.
