These guys make a lot more than they would doing something else that they are qualified to do (like washing dishes) and the immigrant workers flock to the track because the opportunity is much better than in the fields or in the restaurant business. And by the way you thoughts about paying them more and having them work harder is not only bunk it doesnt work, believe me i've tried.

If it takes long hours to take care of a horse then you should be paid for it...not stiffed on your hours....many people have jobs that take long hours but they get paid for every hour they work...I don't know what you or any other trainer pays their help but I would guess it is near minimum wage so they only reason they would make more money working with the horses versus washing dishes is they work more hours...their pay per hour rate would probably be similar.
