A $98k allowance. DQ cost one owner about $60k, while the other gained $40k. That's some decent cheddar, even for a mega-stable. Chad has to commiserate with one entity and congratulate the other. That's what I meant by awkward.

A $60k purse pays for a year's worth of expenses, and puts your horse in a profitable position for the rest if the year. Obviously, Chad had Inordinate torqued for that race and they found a perfect spot, with Javy on board. These types of opportunities are not abundant. Hope they can find another one soon.
