anthony just keeps robbing his owners

[LockedOnALine]

Anthony is a fucking clown

If u are dumb enough to give this loser a horse or pay his ridiculous bills you are a sucker and serves your right

He is a fan of P T Barnum

[Calhoun]

i actually dont have a problem with him driving..
he tries and knows the horses and actually has decent hands

its the bills and misleading off the track

No offense but it's your Pop's money you are playing horse owner with, right?

It's really hard to respect or value your opinion of other peoples' money when the cash you are spending was earned by your Father.

Can you give us 3 good reasons we should care what you say?

Thanks.

Bad year so far for the Stable. Sure he had 3 in the final and 1 got money. The other two above water for the year. The test of the Stable not so well some ON breds have a shot winning some money in the grassroots. Take away the 3 in OH disaster city but he says stable best year. Yikes he best look at the earnings number. Would say last year much better and another year like this clients start to evaluate losses.

4 in the final. 2 breakers the other 2 were 2nd and 3rd for $110.000
didn’t pay over $25,000 for any of those 4

to put it into perspective Brian Brown had 2 super night starters and brought home $9,000

if it’s so easy to get average or below average priced yearlings into a $300,000 super final why aren’t you doing it? 🤔

2 more for the stakes consolation
possibly up to 4 more for Buckeye Finals

yeah just an awful year.

Swandre big picture around 75 yearlings bought. About 15 or so sold back at auction or private sale. Here are the other 57.  25 have earned 0-5k. 10 earned 5-10k. 7 10-15k. 9 earned 15k-25k. So perspective 49 of these haven't even broke even on monthly bills and stake payments. Doesn't count purchase price or all the travel and entry fees. Of the rest 1 25k-30k. 1 30-35k. 2 35-40k. 1 at 63k and 1 at 151k. In all honesty there are 4 that are in the black. Another couple maybe close. Out of 75 yearlings if that is a great season holy shit what is bad??? Wait 3 year olds coming back looks like failure and Yes at least grabbed a 3rd place check in final. So Swandre is this what a good season is?  You have enough horses u should get something in the sire finals and he had 3 in one divison and I think 0 in IN, IL, PA, NY, and ON.

Great post horses first. My only question is how does that compare to the industry avg. Is he doing better or worse. Or even a comparison vs brown. Some sort of baseline is needed.

The Baseline is what this thread started out as. Was offered 11for a horse turned it down and his owners got 6 instead.
A perfect example of him losing his owners money in a variety of forms..
As a stable manager there's a million decisions to make not just what horses to buy but where to race them when the race them when the cell when not to sell that's when the money is made or lost

[hoosierboy]

I think finding better trainers to send them to in the summer might be a good start

[Swandre]

sounds like you guys have this industry figured out
my question is : if you’re such experts on running a 100+ horse stable, why aren’t you?

probably right down the middle. if people want to compare ‘return on investment’ use the ‘successful’ trainers too. let’s have a look at those numbers too.

Because thats too many horses...
Im at 20 and its working well

[PurpleSheetPicks]

The fact that he bought 5 or 6 yearlings at the blooded horse sale tells you everything.
He isnt being selective enough. No one should find 5 or 6 that they liked their regardless of thier bankroll

[Swandre]

you sound like the type of guy who’d write to Starbucks and tell them they’d be more successful if they used a different kind of coffee beans

It’s VERY clear I was talking about Ohio strictly
There were no Illinois yearlings
There were 3 Indiana breds, one two year old trotting filly took a mark of :58 and change on a half. One is still racing and one is done for the year.
ON and PA are tough markets, not having a super final starter in those markets isn’t necessarily a failure.
