Did IEAH actually get $50 million for Big Brown?
Does anyone know if this is a real number and how the deal was structured? It is hard to believe anything IEAH says.
If they really got $50M for the horse than I see no way Clay would have made a deal that doesn't allow them to determine if the horse keeps running.
If Big Brown were to run another similar race in the Travers or Haskell I think you would have a hard time getting people to pay even $20K to breed to the horse, especially considering he comes out of the Dutrow barn.
