This sucks for the trainer and jock. They miss out on $100k each (if they get the normal 10%). Wilko got moved up to 2nd. Wilko has got to be one of the richest horses on the planet that has only won 1 Graded race. |
Total bull****.. No N.A. connections should EVER go there again...
And FYI, Buff Bradley owns Brass Hat with his father Fred, so the loss is a lot more than a standard trainer's 10%... Willie Martinez gets screwed out of $120,000.. The grooms and stablehands all were getting nice bonuses too from the Bradley's... Just hideous.
Instead, Susan Roy and Paul Reddam get the money. Disgusting.
