It is hard to believe you actually own horses and yet have no idea that anyone that has over 2000 starters in a single year will pay far in excess for $3 million to keep them. Not even taking into consideration that that same person owns a large training facility that would be a huge expense in itself.

where did Mr lost my ass in racing 3 other times get all this money from to lose AGAIN.. Maybe it was the raging NE mortgage market in 08 and 09? Especially after his bath is 05,06 and 7? You think people just love cutting checks for 40 k a week to race 5 claimers that fall?

Let me ask you a question. If he is making so much money why doesnt anyone else do it? I mean if you can win tons of races, get an eclipse award and make money how come no one else does it?

I have no idea how much he makes in his mortgage business but his horse racing operation cant make money. Unless he can turn water into wine...or hay.

I have 23 horses in training. My payroll is around $4500 a week right now. My employees get industry standard pay.

He made 2000 starts last year. Your idea that he had 100 horses is about 50% shy. He treats every horse with EPM meds. That alone for 200 horses is 20k a month if he gets a huge bulk discount.
