“diatribe”

How many fake accounts will you use today Mike?

If you take all the cost of yearlings on the US and Canadian market for 5 years.     


and after 1 year as 2 year olds thru 5 year olds

the stats show only 63% of the aggregate amount

will be earned back via purse money.


e.g.     The Punisher Stable is in the hole for

$11,000,000 and counting...


The "inventory " of horses the $11 Mill covers certainly

has some residual value.....but training and maintenance

as well as vet, shipping ,staking adds substantially

reduces any income earned via purses.


Looks like you need $5 Million -$30 Million to play

the game longterm...



e.g.  Burke Brigade


While trainer Burke takes home a nice salary...

the  financiers of the operation may be less fortunate.


The cost of inventory and training/insurance/shipping/vet

puts a major dent in the bottom line.


A recent survey of Tbred owners has shown a staggering

91% Lose $ overall.

With the standardbred a guesstimate is 40% are even

or in the black while 60% in the red.


But.....Having a Stakes winner is what it is all about.


Many will pay dearly for the luxury of owning a

top racehorse.


5 of 6 Yearlings fail to pay their bills/cost.


So bottom line....enjoy the ride.....and have your

wallet ready and fully stocked.

As far as pure talent goes I think Denny and Dave are similar. Dave was Dangerous, Denny wasn't, noone can argue that.

 

This is a fact 

He took some pretty big swings-
but I'm afraid he's pulling a Trent Grisham-
whiff

Every assertion, observation and accusation completely false. He doesn't even realize EAA is just me, only me, always will be just me. Asks that I provide the names of the people paying EAA? Who EAA pays and their tax returns? This guy is a fucking CPA? 

Sounds an awful lot like G now doesn't he? Anyway, I expect the apology he promised soon.
