If you take all the cost of yearlings on the US and Canadian market for 5 years.     


and after 1 year as 2 year olds thru 5 year olds

the stats show only 63% of the aggregate amount

will be earned back via purse money.


e.g.     The Punisher Stable is in the hole for

$11,000,000 and counting...


The "inventory " of horses the $11 Mill covers certainly

has some residual value.....but training and maintenance

as well as vet, shipping ,staking adds substantially

reduces any income earned via purses.


Looks like you need $5 Million -$30 Million to play

the game longterm...



e.g.  Burke Brigade


While trainer Burke takes home a nice salary...

the  financiers of the operation may be less fortunate.


The cost of inventory and training/insurance/shipping/vet

puts a major dent in the bottom line.


A recent survey of Tbred owners has shown a staggering

91% Lose $ overall.

With the standardbred a guesstimate is 40% are even

or in the black while 60% in the red.


But.....Having a Stakes winner is what it is all about.


Many will pay dearly for the luxury of owning a

top racehorse.


5 of 6 Yearlings fail to pay their bills/cost.


So bottom line....enjoy the ride.....and have your

wallet ready and fully stocked.

And most of the money they do "earn" is funded by government handouts.  Do the math without that money.

wease
wtf does what goes on in the usa politics have to do with this thread

How weak was this


This is a message to the Industry that Drugging

will go unnoticed....and you will get a slap on the wrist



IF you get caught.




Sad

Calhoun wants the same thing always, he's a simple minded little demon...he don't give two shits about movie characters, Christianity, Islam...kiss ass so he can get a tip on a horse...why he's a fractional owner too, access.

The end.

My statement was a fact, douchebag. Do you have proof that she is using drugs to win races?

I thought you were against drug trainers this is not her first time.    I'm not gonna start with the name calling my name isn't Mike/Sweet
