Here is another thing to think about, and it will help make your point, but I don't think people realize that before you even see that win purse, you are hit for 10% for the jock and you owe your trainer 10-12%. So when you win that maiden claimer at Philly for 20k, you really only see 9600, or 48% of the purse.
The point is not how tough it is the point is the premium to race in Ca. The vig (30%) makes the equation unbearble for development of ownership
