My point was, the profit from one or two days of racing is so much it's worth it to invest more money into upgrades. I never compared the Derby to the Preakness but thank you, your apples and bowling balls for trying.
FYI, many horses like apples and I invest in bowling balls!
Everyone is only seeing the gross profit, not the net profit. An educated guess is that expenses go up too!! How much the expenses go up, who knows!!!
