Thats the bottom line. To the Prince it was a pittance. He alreayd had a 50 million dollar breeding deal on him as well. Baffert took the 50 why? Because it was offered. Shoot, thats where the damn horse was gonna run anyway, they didn't need to give him the 50 to get him to come. I'm sure NOONE here would take 50 grand that was offered to them to run a horse where you were gonna run him in the first place, right? LOL!!
