Yes, I know, you would ( and should ) be ecstatic....but you would also be lying if you said you trained a Derby winner. It's a game of inches.
Apples and oranges. Purse payments are typically a fluid situation based on handle. That is why the are raised or lowered during a meet. This situation is obviously different but it is crazy to think that purse accounts aren't always either under or overpaid. As I said I dont have any idea of what the status of the purse account at Monmouth is. But unless someone has information that they are not sharing I have no reason to believe that they wont be pretty close to paying that amount or transfering some to the boost the fall meet.
