"Why would Bob Baffert offer Frank Springer (former trainer of WE) one half of his share of the purse money, immediately after the Derby was run......"
Karl,
Baffert was quoted in the Thoroughbred Times and/or BloodHorse that he made that comment to Springer a week or 2 beforeThe Derby. He was appreciative of Springer going out of his way to help Baffert w/ the horse's quirks, something Springer didn't have to do but was nice enuff to do so.
IMO, the former owner is in no way deseving of any % of the bonus.
