Your filly is nice, the people involved seem to be nice, and unless people start to make suggestions and get difficult it will be impossible to lose money. There aernt many situations I can think of where its impossible to lose money in this game, you guys are in one

Which is why I hope that someone who is in the position to buy their own horses sees what good Chuck can do and hopefully places their horses with him too.

Does each track, say Magna, Churchill and NYRA, all have their own fees for trainers to have stalls?

Amen to that. We may be there in a few years, and I would (hopefully will!) trust him with my stock unquestioned.

Walk into any horse barn, especially when it's a "surprise visit", and see what you get: I wanna see stalls clean & well-bedded, water fresh and ample, hay and feed good-quality, equipment ordered and clean, the tone of the barn (and help) confident, in control and organized, and most importantly the horses need to be relaxed and mentally happy - it all starts from there.

You can't take broken down horses and make winners out of them, but just having good stock doesn't get you there, either. You have to know what to do with it, and attention to detail matters.
