Monmouth has been paying foR Haskell for along time if i remembeR right, Baffert must have made Bode's college tuition,with the number of times he has sent horses there .(and won too).

OTOH, the CC connections have the appearance fee down, but are not likely to collect on the win end though,(as steve crist points out).
