What % of Monticello horses are on deals?

[Locked in with pace]

I would guess more than not. With the current situation, how long can horsemen survive with no income?

[Grandstand Handicapper]

Interesting question. I couldn't even fathom a guess. I have no idea what the daily rate is for a top trainer, but with an open going for what, $7800, and the bottom going for $3000-$3200, I don't see a real money making proposition here. While I am sure nobody is getting $100 a day, with the cost of goods and services, I can't see anyone doing very well overall.

ill train your horse for 15 a day. if they race on mon/wed/ or fri.  i get 50%  of the purse. if they race on tue/wed ill only take 25% and you pay for feed and hay. and you have to tip your groom whe the horse races. which is also me.

jay doesnt tip

Any trainer who would charge an owner to race there has no shame, some are nice or dumb enough to pay but it's slim pickems.

if you owned your own. if you had halfway decent stock and a little bit of fuel. someone could crush at that place.

I heard the NYSGC is fining Monticello 5k/day every day they cancel.

Will the fine be paid from the purse account?

Good for them.

Will the fine be paid from the purse account?

If true, not good.

[Parked]

If so they should use that fine money to get rid of some of the beards in NY.

Even owning your own, DIY, whatever, I can't see anyone doing very well there.

You are almost as dumb as the trainers that take horses on deals. This is a sport if you want to play it cost $$$. How many Professional sports teams make money?  How about boat owners or golf clubs members??? Only the broke ones cry foul

[Onthefront11]

I'm dumb I'm willing to bet you're one of those no account know it all bums who hang out in the simulcast room

Or maybe one of those "trainers" that rob owners, lucky for me ill never own a horse there

Never robbed an owner in my life. They knew what I charged before their horse came to my barn. And the always has the opportunity to sell or move to a cheaper trainer
