There is nothing wrong with the above as a business model, IMO, but one better realize that more dollars will be spent to keep their investment in safe racing condition when animals with performance-limiting chronic health problems and tenuous physical ability form your stable.

One can't ignore that care, and justify it by saying, "I'm playing at the cheap levels, so the animal care must be necessarily cheap, too". That's a cop out.
