Here is one for you Kooter or anyone else.I can think of only one tr/dr to collect over $100,000.00 in tr/dr % from just one race. There maybe more, but can you name the tr/dr I am thinking of?
In the 70's Jack Keiser wrote a horse racing column for an east coast newspaper.It was required reading every morning in the track kitchen.Keiser hated Stanley Dancer.He wrote that the only way Stanley could win a race was to have 2or3 seconds on the field, and just go down the road.He also wrote that the only guy Stanley could out drive was the dr/tr of . The arch enemy of Most Happy Fella.
This shouldn't be to hard if you work backwards.With the standard 5% for training and 5% for driving, you would need more then one horse in the race , or if just one horse the purse would have to be over two million. How many races have gone for over two million?
