Yes it does... that 6k has nothing to do with entry for the Illinois Derby. He could have been entered in this race regardless if he was nominated to the triple crown or not.
I believe the entry fee for the Ky Derby is also 25K and the starting fee is 25K - on top of the 6K late nomination fee - so thats $56,000 spent just to run a horse in the KY Derby.
