We're looking at maybe the purses and bonuses.

So he volunteered the idea of bonuses without my actually asking about it.

So stay tuned on that.

I think they're gonna do something in that vein and that's gonna force Belmont's hand because then the Belmont would be looking at being a two million dollar race while the Preakness would be more and the Kentucky Derby is what, seven million?

I don't think people give a flying bleep about it.

Baffert was right when you're right too.

Baffert said once the Triple Crown is done, once the Belmont Stakes is run, most people aren't watching horse racing again until Kentucky Derby the following year.

And by the way, not even Tony, not even that now.

It's only getting about two million against college football.

It's it's now uh maybe the fifth or s fourth or fifth most watched race.

It goes Derby twenty four million this year, Prequest had seven, Belmont had five, Kentucky Oaks had two, the Breeders' Cup had two.

So it drops off really a lot.

I just don't think people are gonna care about this series.

I really don't.

Yeah, and in fact what Churchill and the New York Racing Association were doing was effectively throwing the counter punch as a preemptory strike by moving and hastening their news conference a couple days early.

So yeah, I think I think it it was a very big wallop by the preakness.

And if they do deliver uh uh in

Terms of a bigger purse and bonuses, then it means everything.

You know, the answer to all your questions, right?
