Glenn,

Am I reading it correctly? I can't believe it says the prizemoney is $1m? With the exchange rate, that's around $1.4m over here, and while that's certainly good, we've got several races worth more. I would have thought a race like the Derby would be worth at least 3 or 4 million. Is the Derby the biggest race in America simply because of it's prestige and not the prizemoney, or is there perhaps a big $ bonus to any horse that goes on and wins the Triple Crown?
