He ran 2247 horses last year so you can pretty much double all the figures since with a 120 horse operation it would mean his horses averaged close to 19 starts each. He states in the Paulick article today he had 450 horses last year at one time. The day he had 450 horses at say $50 a day it was costing him $22000 a day without the other expenses factored in. That is around 8 million in expenses without regard to one cent of purchase price.
