There are incentive clauses that are in the contract that state that the buyer pays X amount more for being a champion, being HOY, etc.
When St Liam won last year, believe me, they weren't just screaming about the purse money in the BCC. They got a HUGE payout from the buyer for that.
Its industry standard Zieg.

Doesnt it depend on the horse though?

Did Smarty's connections lose any money when he wasnt named HOY? Would Fusao Segiguchi (sp?) gotten any more for Fusaichi Pegasus if he had won HOY? How about PG? Was he going to be worth any more?

I think it makes a much bigger difference to the older horses than it does for the three year olds.
