Nick Canani at Arlington

[The Bid]

The only motivation for inactivity is milking day bill.

Sucks when they don't fill and you're ready to go. You can always let them hustle the allowance horse into a 10000 2l. Just let me know before you do it!

And it isn't like they are getting rich on that day rate either. There is absolutely zero logic in the notion that horseman are not entering horses when they are ready to run.

unless you are pointing for a toga , keeneland meet..ect

You're right

They may not get rich not running, but if you stand to lose a daybill horse by running a lot of guys will not run.

Just hypothetically if a trainer can put 10 bucks in his pocket per head, per day, and he/she has 15 horses..... Figure that trainer makes 150 a day, 1050 a week. Certainly not gonna get rich, but it may provide a motivation for not running as opposed to running and losing one.

I have seen that often

a small trainer has to set them up to gamble, or make some profit on daybill, or it's a pretty tough gig

I'll throw a name into this discussion, how are Maggi Moss and Thomas Amoss doing this meet?

[The Bid]

At which meet csc. They haven't ran as many at chd since that fiasco w the pletcher claim.

She's light years ahead in the claiming game though. She gets it. She makes the right moves more often than not. It's not like she has unlimited funds either. She's just well read, bright, and understands how to turn a profit

Oh thanks, I thought she was running horses at Arlington. As you say her and Amoss were miles ahead of most in the claiming game. She usually netted flat profit results and is one owner that can be compared to Calabrese for her prolific numbers.

[The Bid]

To me what she does is much more impressive. She claims her horses w purpose. She already has an idea of the next spot, maybe next couple. Calabreses team is not equal to maggi, however can afford to jam them down your throat. Rarely, if ever, do you see her drop one till she's out and it's pure profit. Lotta people getting into this game should follow her model. There's a lot of money to be made if you play correctly
