Then you will be disappointed more often than not. As far as owning a horse there is nothing as fun as having your picture taken. Finishing fifth is an allowance race isn't going to be nearly as fun as winning a claiming race. If that was really the goal then it might have made sense to try and find a cheap race at a bad track first off the layoff so you could be starter eligible. Doubt she would have been taken if she were bought for $30k and then dropped in for $10k off the layoff. Anyway, good luck!
