Transportation is the killer I am guessing, but it isn't like you are shipping from CA to KY every other day.
This isn't talking about Pa. I love Pa as much as you do. But some around here are trying to say it majorly expensive to have a horse out there when 1) it is majorly expensive to have a horse in general and 2) it probably costs about 4k to keep a horse in California (That isn't including any trainer purse %'s that you can deduct as an expense)
No one is talking about the opportunity to run against short fields, and while running for 'decent' purses
