Since Ritz dropped out my understanding is that he would lose a significant portion of his appearance fee for not finishing the race. Can anyone in the know advise? I recall seeing a thread a few weeks ago claiming the sharp reduction in appearance/contract fee if the runner drops out of the race.
I can't imagine that's the case. And if it is, he certainly doesn't care, because if his safe goal was to finish, he did an awful job following his strategy.
