anthony just keeps robbing his owners

[horses first]

Agree Jug. They are not maybe 2k, max 2500 for first 9 months. Maybe three months in Mar, Apr, and May they go up with stake payments. If your in PA your racing bills will be higher based on travel, paddock, vet work, entry fee for a stake race. My guess to race a 2yr old into Oct hitting sires or stallions or buckeye or sire stakes in IN would put a price tag for 12 months around 30k. Maybe around 35k. If your higher it's because of GC payments, extra travel because of GC racing, a higher day rate then what the stable charged,  but 60k is way out there. I also understand to the one who mentioned they race at 3 and race at 4. Yes understand however the meter never stops and the bills still rack up. Having a 2 yr old pay for itself even if it's a breakeven is a good place to end a season...then play catch up at 3. My opinion hardest thing in racing going from 2 to 3.

Mr. Belmontchurchill,
    Excellent, sage advice, bravo!

[Winners Win]

His latest dilemma is what is his best way to charge owners for him going to the sale. lol.  I guess getting 80 yearlings in training isnt payment enough.

What a horrible day he had on Jugette Day.............. ...............ho w will he explain this to his 200 owners.

He was favored twice......both made breaks

He raced for $250,000....and got a 4th and a 5th......$ 6100 in total

Jason McGinnis must be a very good trainer...to make so much money ..with AM driving
And AM could have used a top 10 driver in every race ??

If he puts some of these horses in a sale......they will be a good buy..and move forward on the driver change alone

Looks Easy.

Do other trainers do this? Charge travel expenses for yearling sales? I haven't had any of my trainers do this or even bring it up, but I don't know what the bigger stables do. Seems like it's simply the cost of doing business, but maybe other stables charge administrative fees to go to Lexington or Harrisburg. I've just never seen it.

Never heard that one...EVER

[Fatboy]

CHARGING FOR DRONE VIDEO SERVICES IS JUST THE BEGINNING

[PurpleSheetPicks]

for him its about telling people he is in on jugette day
the results are irrelevant

i had a friend that i brought into the stable today text me and ask
so when do we make money??

i put him in on a cheap horse before i knew anthonys bills. the horse made 15k this year...not bad for a 6k buy...but with anthonys bills hes getting killed

[marsh99]

I guess it's a different model, more access, more videos, direct lines of communication. Perhaps there are a few more expenses that other trainers just don't have like the website and bookkeepers to track all the share transactions.

I do hope they continue to succeed because of all the new people they are bringing into the sport, but those people can sour very quickly if they don't see any results (which is true of any business I guess).

[PurpleSheetPicks]

 as I've said a million times I applaud his efforts but he can be doing the same efforts and pocketing far less money and getting a better chance of keeping the people in

[MR.DALRAE]

Sounded like a good idea in the beginning

Well said

[slivercharm]

Why charge less if morons are willing to pay more

[MR.DALRAE]

That seems to be very true
