HORSES ON DEALS WHEN A MEET ENDS
« on: November 26, 2025, 08:21:11 AM »
How do these deals work when a meet ends and a trainer does not ship to other tracks? Does the trainer absorb all the bills till the next meeting starts? I would assume the owner and trainer must share incurred costs.

In our experience, our partnership pays reduced training and boarding bills for 2-3 months until our pacers start training for the next season.

So, for the people who take most of the horses on deals and the tracks shut down for a few months, they must take a big hit financially.

Most that take horses on deals are always broke and are not good trainers. They just scrambling to get horses in barn and hoping to get lucky. No competent trainers are going to train your horse for free

Some deals have shared costs, others don't. Ask actual trainers and owners who do deals, and you'll get their answer. There is no one size fits all deal. I know plenty of excellent trainers, and incompetent, gypsy trainers who have done deals. Several have have asked me for advice. Here's the obvious, but interesting part. The trainer and the owner each takes the deal.....because each thinks it's a good deal FOR THEM. Like many times in business, someone is going to be right, and someone is going to be wrong. LOL.
