I don't know much about riding titles and how much they are valued but I know that 30k is 30k, and it is 2 minutes, instead of having to win 2-3 races. Maybe he is really live on Saturday and that is why.
Riding titles could be worthless or priceless. Here -- it's not about the $30k. Even if you count him as giving up the $30k because the Delaware race is a walkover, if Richie played his cards right, the Spa riding title is worth more than $30k in the big picture (and he keeps the ride).

In this setting, at this stage in his career, it's not a $30k decision. It's a strategic decision.

But, as I said, who knows what, how, when, etc. the entire thing happened. I could easily ask, but you know what that means.
