Title: from 2025 Lexington Sale a quick review shows staggering losses
Post by: captaintreacherous on October 10, 2026, 11:42:15 AM
Horses like Social Hour $500K.  0 earnings

and Temperamental.  $475K.  $0. helped


make that $18,000,000.++  Loss to buyers of


$100K to $1,000,000 Trotters from this sale.


and that is not counting upkeep,vet, shipping ,training,

staking...


at approx $50k per horse add $5 million to the 18 mil


loss to get closer to the $25 Million LOSS Mark



That is not even counting pacers...


If you buy a yearling trotter you will probably lose

around $50k-$100 K. based of course on the purchase

price....Per Horse


Yes ..there will be a few $1,000,000 winners and a few


$500K as well as $100k and $200K winners that

will offset some of those losers...granted.


I guess it is an art and cannot be measured in $$$.
