It isnt really close as I have drastically understated his expenses for the most part. The $6 million he earned is a gross number as well. Even if the trainers work for less than 10%, you still have the jocks earnings to pull from there.

I pay 15 for lasix.. Michael gill is not cutting a chx for 40k a week to race 5 claimers. I do not think he wakes up in the moring and says"Hi, my name is Michael Gill, and love Penn National and because I love Penn Nat I will deposit 6k into an account and look forward to doing the same tomorrow" Come on Chuck 2 mil a year is ridiculous .. Gill is not a complete fn moron.
