Ah, very astute, Sportz. There is a 5 Millon bonus for winning the Triple Crown. There are also bonuses for winning other races then the Kentucky Derby. The purse money you read is correct. It's more about prestige and the value of a KD winner in the breeding barn. We have many races with larger purses, but this is THE one to win. Aussie racing has many large purses, and I am very impressed with them. Good luck, I am staying with my original selections, with Lionheart, 10-1 in the morning line, winning.

Regards,

Glenn
