I am no expert, but these people are supposed to be, as far as I know a stud fee is paid only when a foal is born alive. These guys should know better!

I couple of years ago before the Hollywood Gold Cup, the connections of Heatseeker (who I believe was going to be one of the favorites) announced on either Thursday or Friday that he was going to scratch from the race (if I remeber correctly it was injry related). That Friday night at Hollywood Schrupp went on about what a good chance that Heatseeker had to win the race. The whole kicker of thing is that they were on site at Hollywood Park and the guy still had absolutely no clue about what was going on with the horse. I thought that summed it all up right there about how clueless some of these guys are.
