Stewball, Tim's racehorse has won 3 of its last 4 weekly races. On the night before Stewball's 5th race he appeared to be ill, so at 3 am Tim called Victor the regular vet for Tim's stable, who promised he would be there right away, but Victor fell asleep again and didn't make it. Tim withdrew the horse from the race. Later another vet discovered the horse had only been stung by a wasp and fit to race. Tim claims from Victor:

aReimbursement for the other vets' bill of $170.

bForfeited entry fee for withdrawing the horse of $400.

cLost prize winnings of $35,000 if Stewball had come first.

dLost bets of $35,000 if Tim had put $5,000 on at 7 to 1 as he usually did.

eLoss of Tim's reputation as a reliable race entrant, estimated by Tim at $20,000.

Victor admits that he should not have gone back to sleep and is willing to pay $10,000 to settle the issue, but Tim refuses to accept this and while the dispute is unsettled Tim will not allow Stewball to race. Each week as Stewball misses a race, Tim adds another $70,000 to his claim. How do you think these issues would be resolved?
