Highest PER DAY training charge you have heard of!
« on: August 16, 2025, 02:07:25 PM »
The highest PER day fee I have heard of is $80.00 PER DAY.  Is anyone higher, or is this an outlier?

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.

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

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?

Guys are charging $100 a day for gastro guard.
6-8k a month for guys like Takter and Bako.

Hell, Auciello is over 4k a month.
