And you don't know my experiences in the horse racing industry, so it doesn't really matter.

regurgitating someone else's thoughts doesn't exactly make you right either...I'm done here, talking to you is like trying to reason with one-suit.

I can take a guess. I'd say your "success" in the industry is primarily due to your parents providing the means for you to be "successful" in the industry.

I'm not regurgitating someone else's thoughts.

Can't you do any better than this, and come up with something that I can understand?

What have I said that was wrong in my posts in this thread?

Am I the only one tired of reading posts about kentuckyrosesinmay?
I know most of the posts about kentuckyrosesinmay were written by kentuckyrosesinmay, and that is pretty annoying, but I for one would appreciate it if everyone (especially kentuckyrosesinmay) would stop writing about kentuckyrosesinmay.

My parents have nothing to do with horse racing.

I have no success in the horse racing industry. Only the show horse industry.

I doubt it....narcissism is a serious disorder that requires professional assistance if one is to recover.

Well, at least I can understand this. Thank you. I won't say anything about myself ever again. Wait, what did I say about myself other than my opinions about the two year olds, and about not being that great?

Wait, but how is it narcissism if I don't think I am that great.

It depends on how good your eye is. Most of racing is luck, some is not. I know it can be done because I have seen it done from hanging out with some people out in California. The only part that takes a lot of luck is keeping the horse sound. Finding a good two year old in training sale horse does not take that much luck. It is a skill. I wish everyone could see what I have seen. Then, they would take me seriously.

I don't do yearlings. You are taking an enormous gamble with yearlings. There are very few people that are good at picking out yearlings...
Very, very, very few, and they are still often wrong.

See, what I would have done is taken 40,000 (combined two of 20,000), and gone to OBS April two year olds in training. At least you can tell if they can run or not in the two year olds in training sales. And I have seen some nice horses go for under 40,000. I could actually name a few under this price that turned out to be good racehoses from OBS April who had nice workouts.

That way, you wouldn't have had to pay for the training of two animals who might both turn out to be bad because yearlings change so much, you can't see them run, and they have more time for something to go wrong. If you buy a two year old, you don't have to wait so long for them to race, and don't have to waste a lot of other money in the process waiting on them. Plus, like I said, you can't tell if they can run or not as yearlings. So, its not my fault that you are 80,000 deep. You chose to be 80,000 deep. You also need to have more money saved up than what you originally buy the horse for so that you can easily pay for that horse's expenses before they make it to the races. Its all about maximizing your chances of having a good horse, and minimizing your costs in the process. I'd rather have one good horse than two bad ones.

Hopefully, this won't be the case and your yearlings will turn out for you, and you will get lucky and get your money back.

I am making it as complicated as I have seen it done from my experiences. I also know what I am capable of, and know what I am not capable of. My eye is better than most, and I know exactly who to go to who will find me a good horse if I'm not 100% confident in my abilities to pick one out by the time I purchase one.

Okay. I'm trying to help you out here and you go Little Miss can't be wrong on me. Let's get something straight. YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING. First, if a horse goes for $20-40k at a 2YO in training... you're wrong, he generally can't run. Second, I don't need a lecture on how much to save for this venture, I had done the math prior to the investment, and I was trying to put some color on how much it REALLY costs. Finally, if you could tell SOOOOOOO much about a 2YO in training, why did the most expensive 2YO in training purchase JUST RETIRE AS A TRULY TERRIBLE MAIDEN!!!!!

It's actually an interesting conversation to have, and there are several on this board that I would like to hear their opinions on concerning Yearlings vs 2 Years IT, etc..but today doesn't seem to be the right day for this.

I don't know anything.

There are quite a few horses in this price range from OBS April sales that went on to be good racehorses, and at least earned back their purchase price or better.

I didn't think that the Green Monkey's workout was great. I couldn't understand the hype. He crossfired all the way down the stretch in his workout. Big no-no.

And there were far more that didn't. Have we really come to redboarding sales results?
