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 know what it costs to keep an 8 claimer in Tampa - running that same race at Penn Nat for 20K, a win = 12K, minus jock and trainer covers me for the meet. 4 months of 55 a day + vet + shoes if I don't hit the board the rest of the meet, I'm pretty much to the good. Extrapolate that over the course of Gill's deal, it doesn't seem like a losing proposition. All I'm sayin'...I've had plenty that never made it to the track.
BTW - Purrfect Bluff in on Friday at AQU - looks good
