Never hire a trainer that has financial problems. Even if honest they won’t make good decisions for you. I call it a poverty mind set.

Post by: Mailbox Money on March 11, 2023, 06:31:33 PM: Depend on how much the trainer can pad the bill.If a horse races 4x in the month there is more opportunity for markup on essential expenditures!
