Appearance Fees

Baffert got it for Point Given? To me thats insane. Should go to the owner.

And I dont think Flower Alley is anywhere near ready to be earning an appearance fee.

The owner of Point Given was like a friend to Baffert. $50K to Prince Ahmed was pocket change. Baffert paid him back with a KD winnning purchase in War Emblem. Too bad the guy died in his early 40's.
