when you look at ieahs spending habits lately, i'm figuring they threw a huge amount this guys way-that's how you get a guy to cough up half. they threw in part of stardom bound to sweeten the pot-that tells me it's worth more than 4 mill.

I'm not sure quite what you are talking about in the first paragraph... because Big Brown's deal occured BEFORE the Preakness..
They only sold 10% of the horse... and they made out as that 10% supposedly made the horse worth 60 million dollars.
They were thinking this guy was gonna win the Triple Crown and they would all be set still having 90% of his breeding value.
Guess that didnt turn out how they were hoping!
