He may crave the attention and the spotlight but he is paying very good money for it.

Well said.

The original post is so ridiculous, I don't know where to start. So far he's minus-$9,572,000 on the Rachel Alexandra deal, gave us one of the great Preaknesses in recent memory, brought tremendous exposure and interest to racing, and this is ... greed?

Say what you will about Jackson, but don't just say anything. Jeez.
