One of the first things my trainer told me when i got in the business is it cost just as much to feed a cheap horse as good one. Buy good stock and stick to the slot states and there is still money to be made. High End claimer and as well NW with state sired stock go for good money and competition not to tough. If and when slots decrease or percentages change time to think about a new hobby or career. Still plenty of decent trainers out there that you can trust.

Swale...No offense but why would u switch from tbreds to harness??

I just want to try something different.  And I have really grown a strong fondness of the Standardbred breed.  They are a lot more fun to work around than Thoroughbreds.  I'm at a crossroads in my horse career.  I can either go back to Thoroughbreds, stick to horse farm work, or give up horses altogether....nei ther of which I want to do.  I've always been a casual fan of harness racing and after having worked with some Standardbreds for the last year, I've started to follow the sport more closely.  Maybe I'm having a midlife crisis, but I want to work with Standardbreds.... learn how to jog and train them...hopefully working my way up to 2nd trainer or something.

So you've worked with standardbreds for the past year but you're looking for advice.  It sounds like bullshit to me.

I've been fucking this girl for the past year but I'm not sure if it feels good or not.  Please help.  Any advice?

I've worked with 'some' Standardbreds in a farm setting...a few STB mares resided at the farm I most recently worked at...

if your inquiry is sort of legit  <>  this post is on the point.  Now, as I say that, I still cannot resist a fallen from grace racer at a bargain basement $$$.  But, truth is, all exp. are same on a lo-ender or an open pacer.  So, try to move up a class or two.   Get a cool hat to wear, that's quite important.  AND, then - take a look at the trainers in your market - call 'em up.  You'll connect with one of them  -  well, unless you're a real dweeb.  Then get a smart looking sweater and bell bottom pants.  Did I mention you should have a feather  (like a pheasant feather!!) in the hat.  Last of all, get a good pair of alligator skin loafers.  I think that about covers it.

Ok, so, whats your point?

Yes of course it costs the same to feed a "cheap" horse as it does a "good" one....

But, according to that thinking Michael Jordan was a "cheap" one and I think we can all agree he was pretty damn good!!

How was Jordan a cheap one? A NC standout ngc3

Listen to carnival people, I too am 70+ and retired, I started in the 60's and had a great time, 7 days a week. No life away from racing. Made great money, no life away from racing. Trained and drove, had some nice horses.  Luckily my wife also had a good job and we saved money for retirement. Most horsemen and women never retire, they die at the track or a county home some where. We made sure our 2 children stayed as far away as we could keep them. They still thank me for that. Save yourself, Find another profession. Just remember if you are a trainer your horses  need to win 1 million in purses for you to make 50k a yr, unless you own them.
