Highest PER DAY training charge you have heard of!

[wizardofoz]

The highest PER day fee I have heard of is $80.00 PER DAY.  Is anyone higher, or is this an outlier?

[Papillon]

Baffert, Chad Brown, Pletcher, Cox,Mott etc etc charge $200-250 a day

[Chips N Salsa]

Takter is $125 but the per day means nothing when you have plus plus plus.  Stall rent / shipping / supplements / equipment / spa / turn out / vet / groom bonus and yada yada yada

     The training fees are minor compared to vet bills.
Expenses to race a horse
shipping n tolls $500
vet pre race $300
groom for paddock $100
You race 4 times in a month 4 x $900 = $ 3600.

The numbers you folks are talking is mind-blowing. When I owned 4 cheap claimers at Pompano Park in the late 80's my daily for all 4 were $150. I had two other partners who. like me never made any money. LOL! Our groom Mickey Metcalf (whose Dad was a trainer/driver) charged us $25 for each paddock. Our farrier Mike Cable was really fair. The vets bills were pretty costly.

How many will stick around? 1.5 million this year...is putrid for what her owners spend. Nancy went to sleep a top trainer & woke up average.

One pays what they can afford or is right in their minds

If your a fckin idiot and wanna pay 175 to 125  a day
Look in the mirror your a PIGEON

Your paying for the  name

60 to 75 on todays market is fair imho

After that you’re getting ripped off

Unless u   Got  baffert or pletcher 

There is  not a harness trainer on gods green earth worth 175 a day
 Unless your wearing a PIGEON OF THE DAY
 Name tag

I heard she was $65 per day just a few years back. Her price doubled? It costs $8.00 per day for hay so what is she doing for the basic training rate BEFORE the extras?

[kantseeback]

15 years ago I was quoted 85 per day by a Takter underling.
