Title: 8750
Post by: LUCPARK on April 04, 2025, 05:47:12 PM: IS THERE A REASON ON GODS GREEN EARTH I SAW AN 8700 TRAINING BILL FOR 1 HORSE,

ONE OF MY GUYS SHOWED ME HIS BILL FROM AN EAST COAST TRAINER ..

THATS WAS 8700 FOR ONE MONTH PLUS SHIPPING TO TRACK AND PADDOCKS,,

MINUS 2.5 PERCENT OF ANY MONEY MADE BY HORSE AS A TIP FOR HIS GOOMS AT END OF MONTH

its not even the $70 or $80 per day base rate that kills
its all the add ons
special supplements , aqua tred , chiropractor, sports psychologist etc
