Bill has a large payroll with staff in NY, FL, and KY.

Cigar hasn't raced in almost a dozen years and the Theatrical money is ancillary.

So I respectfully disagree that Bill would send Ahmad packing with the economics described above.
Is that what Mott gets now -- $80 a day with the volume discount? How many do you have to have in the barn to get the volume discount?

Anyway, that's really big money. I wonder how much Mott is making on the $80 a day.
