I have seen comments from Baffert in the media that basically say that the split was worked out before hand. The previous owner gets 10% of whatever and there is no issue.
The fact that Baffert chooses to split the bonus 50-50 with the previous trainer is Baffert's deal. Doesn't have squat to do with the owners. Baffert has acknowledged that the previous trainer was very open and helpful in the transition of the horse to BB's barn and Baffert is responding in kind.
Where are you coming from with all of this lawsuit, etc., yada, yada, yada? Are you suffering from dark-day boredom?
