yeah he would got a bump up. Fact is that you get three free years of stud fees before anyone finds out how good the horses offspring are Zieg.
Works like this, 110 x3 is the accepted formula. If the horse gets a grade one lets say, after the deal is done. the bonus is generally one mill.
Both sides are extremely happy. Seller bumps the fee 5 g's. 5,000 x 330, well you do the math. even after paying the bonus the buyer still makes out better.
Trust me, you guys are sitting there trying to find examples where it woudnt have made sense, but thats not reality.
The reality is that bonuses are all included in stud deals. Don't you guys get it? WHy do you think these thinsg take so long to settle? If the deals just went to teh highets bidder, they would take 3 days. When a horse who is still racing has a stud deal done, 1/2 the paperwork is about the bonuses.
Ask Lansdon about his two biggies and the potential they had.
