How much will it cost you to buy a yearling and race him till 3 .

[clearmind]

      It use to be that 100K was the break even point to buy a yearling and race him.
This included stake fees.
I don't think that would cover it today.

Anybody know ?

training and staking will be 100,000 plus cost of horse

Too many variables:
- Yearling Price
- Staking - state/provincial only, fairs or sire stakes; staked to the gills; etc.
- Training bills - pretty big variations IME
- Transport - stabled on a track different than at a training center or private farm
- Vet/Farrier costs also vary but more predictable than the 4 prior points

The fact that you even endeavor to inquire, makes me seriously question your moniker.

If you have to ask you can’t afford it..

Depends on the trainer and how dumb you are

In total average.. Only 15% breakeven while only 7-8% make money(profit)..cut those numbers in half for Thoroughbreds.. it's a high stakes game and big write offs for the rich..
