Answer: $5000

When Tim and Janice decide to put the horse in a claiming race, which entails that they do not know anything about the buyer, Amy is distraught. Chase, who owns a fortune offers the claiming race price of $5000 to impress her. Ty, who is poor compared to him, does the same because he cannot bear the thought of Amy being indebted to Chase, but for him, it means laying down the money he had saved up for school.
