[QUOTE="Alan, post: 315673, member: 378"] I didn't know that his insurance payout was that big. Doing some simple math, calculating est. stud fees and max horses he can cover, I think they would have been $ ahead if they put him down. I too am glad he still around, he's a great horse, the simple math tells me it wasn't because of the future $ that they saved him. My simple math: est. $50,000 stud fee, 40 mares a season (I don't think he will cover that many mares for a couple of years if ever). $50,000 x 40 = 2 mil a year. It would take the owners 10+ years to recoop the $20 mil policy.... this wasn't about the money, they must love this horse. P.S. I don't think the horse is suffering anymore, it's a good life for him.... hey maybe he can still run in a "Handicap" :D :shock: ... sorry :oops: Alan [/QUOTE]
