he earned $3.1 in purses. He didnt make 3.1 million. I'm sure that isnt a net figure after he paid the cut to the jocks either. How many horses did it take to get that 3 million? were they free? He brags about the 31 he gave away for a dollar. Think he made on them? How many were claimed away at a price higher than he claimed them for 10%? How much do you think it costs to feed and bed 200 horses ? Think the farm he owned was given to him? Think the riders galloped for free? Think Adamo and Norman and that delahousse guy were volunteers? think the vans didnt cost money? How much you think he spent in gas to have 2000 runners last year? Think the guys driving the horse vans volunteered? Think his work comp insurance isnt expensive? You know how much the meds he gives cost even at wholesale prices?

lots of guys hit in single A

I will take your action on that

This thread is another in a series of epic - Sunday Silence and Easy Goer like duels between one guy who made his fortune selling Austin 3:16 T-shirts to WWF fans - and another guy who was shrewd enough to tell the Ramsey's to GFY.

100 horses at 7k each is 700k...let's say they have resale at 560k or 80% of the purchase price mind you some sold for 15k and some for a buck.. 2.5mil pays a lot of has been trainers hay and shock wave machines.. Gill was doing this to earn. Claim Rover Boy at Penn Nat on 3/10 for 5k off trombetta and see if you don't make money in 3 months?

Ooooo, a new DT addition?

You will have to win a shake and chuck will have to vet the shiiit out of the horse BUT you can not lose unless the horse breaksdown PERIOD

:wf

Its a horse that can run mig 70 BSF when you only need to run mif 60's to win 15k pots.. Its not if you are going to earn just when the colt needs to be farming potatoes in Lancaster County

21k a week for training another 10k a week vetting is 1.5 mil a year

It is hard to believe you actually own horses and yet have no idea that anyone that has over 2000 starters in a single year will pay far in excess for $3 million to keep them. Not even taking into consideration that that same person owns a large training facility that would be a huge expense in itself.

I have 23 horses in training. My payroll is around $4500 a week right now. My employees get industry standard pay.

He made 2000 starts last year. Your idea that he had 100 horses is about 50% shy. He treats every horse with EPM meds. That alone for 200 horses is 20k a month if he gets a huge bulk discount.

You're getting closer - the "d" is just to the left

where did Mr lost my ass in racing 3 other times get all this money from to lose AGAIN.. Maybe it was the raging NE mortgage market in 08 and 09? Especially after his bath is 05,06 and 7? You think people just love cutting checks for 40 k a week to race 5 claimers that fall?

I think you got the message if you want I can email you a paragraph were only the first and lasr letter of the word is in the correct sequence and your brain will unscramble the words effortlessly and a paragraph without 1 single properly spelled word will read as though it was proof read by the senior editor of the NY TIMES

Let me ask you a question. If he is making so much money why doesnt anyone else do it? I mean if you can win tons of races, get an eclipse award and make money how come no one else does it?

I have no idea how much he makes in his mortgage business but his horse racing operation cant make money. Unless he can turn water into wine...or hay.

Well, the real reason we'll have a triple crown winner in 2013 is because that will be the crop from which Indian Charlie's stud fee jumped way up to 75k.

Though, I was really thinking 2012 back around 2003.

He got soundly beat at even money by a horse Johnny Joe ran 2nd to in his prior start before running 2nd to the Wonder Pig on Saturday.

The table is set for the final leg of the winters greatest racing trilogy.

Wonder Pig VS Hawk Mountain III

If you can finally come out on top of that match-up ... maybe you should look into getting Starbucks to sponcer a match race between Wonder Pig and Robachino.
