Forgive me for not addressing the question posed, but if there is a secondary consequence to a successful bid by Chrome, my hope is that it trickles toward some of my employees.

Since I'm the only person (I assume anywhere) they know who follows racing, I'm backing Chrome simply so that they will stop talking to me about it. This morning someone asked if the connections were going to pull out of the Belmont since "he can't wear his nose thingy."

Last Thursday before a meeting someone asked if California Cruiser (sic) had won the Triple Crown yet.

Perhaps I am not doing my part to grow appreciation of the game, but it has been pretty irritating.

If he wins the Belmont, my best guess is that he'd be worth about $20M and stand initially for $62,500.

He'll have to produce big sales numbers from his first two books or he'll be standing in PA for $20,000 before his his second crop hits the track. From there, he'll need to produce runners to stay in that $20-25k range or it's a boat ride to a new country for him.
