You need to get way more than that at a much higher rate to even come close to breaking even. You have the expense of keeping the horse which includes general boarding and food, nominatation fees, advertising, lab costs, etc. Plus a horse like this is going to be live foal, stands and nurses which means even if his conception rate is high you wont get paid for at least a year and you will be lucky if you collect on 80% of the total mares. As far as I can tell there is no demand for a horse like this nor should there be. Plus he is neither very correct nor fast.
