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.
Was the AARP Invitational open to anybody?

I had been anxiously awaiting for this horse to retire to stud..I gave up on him for this year, but ill be hoping for next year!Dan Gordon wrote: ↑1 year ago If I missed it, I'm kicking myself as I believe my Born Rambling Man would have had a shot. He ran a 96 last time and has a 99 in his career.
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.....

Re: Was the AARP Invitational open to anybody?
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.
