Shameful for who? Certainly not Starlight, as they have to pay double, and hardly "owe" Corey more than that. Maybe Mike? He did win the TC last year and has had plenty of time in the spotlight. I mean, he did opt off a horse for the trainer of that TC winner to ride the one he thought had a better chance this year. Nothing wrong with that, but worth pointing out.
It's a business. Lukas always had this one right. Loyalty goes both ways, and sadly, there isn't a lot in this business by either side. As long as both acknowledge this, and don't just whine when it suits them, it's fine.
