OUCH!!!!

When I see numbers like that, I realize how lucky I am to have the trainer and vet I have in MD.

If my vet bill is higher than $150 month, it's a bad month and there's something dreadfully wrong with the horse.

My training bill day rate is a little more than half that posted.

Insurance is $180 a year - liability insurance only, no mortality.

Gate fees are typically $20 per race.

And, I only pay 10% trainer comm on a top three finish money, not on every dime earned.

But then again, I don't run for the larger NY purses either.......but I still have a good chance of turning a profit if we manage our horse right and put him/her in the right spots.
