Frost for $1,500

[Linny]

I friend of mine used to work for a trainer who would try to find "fancy pedigree, cheap" and he never had much luck with it. It seems than horses priced to their breeding do better. Finding a $1500 horse by a $75k stallion may seem like a steal but it probably isn't. At least if it's a filly, her breeding may earn her some residual value. A colt will have to prove himself. As Cannon says, you still have to pay the epenses on the horse while you give it a go. As a yearling, they are looking at breaking/training/shipping etc for a bare minimum of 6 mos. THAT assumes that all goes beautifully and baby is ready for a 2f dash at Calder in March! More likely, if he races at all then it won't likely be for a year.
