How about 36k, maybe 40k tops? And that is on the high side. I think Eisaman charges about 70 a day for yearling prep and that includes normal vet, that was two years ago.
Don't know the market now, but 10 years ago if you were paying over 30K, you had horse issues.

Normal vet / training was typically just under/just over 30K depending on an August/Sept purchase and a Mar/Apr sale. I'd have to assume your number is probably way more correct these days... Freddie's been hanging with the Sheiks apparently.
