Total purse payout for the race was actually only $4,740,000 - $3M for 1st, $1.32M for 2nd and a $420K breeder award. The remaining $1.26M that would normally get paid out to 3rd-5th just didn't exist here.

Pete and I each contributed 1/2 of that $4.74M to the purse, so $2.37M each, which equalled the total amount to be paid out. So it's better than break even for the winner and a negative for the loser.
Thanks

If it was an arranged match race, I get it. But why not open it up to others? I think I missed a chapter in this book.....

Match racing with all time greats has been going on since Year 4 in the SIM. Happens about once every 5-10 years and is reserved for really special types.
