Just arrived home...

The filly got 3rd (in a field of 6)...she was the fourth choice in the filed...She ran against 5 older horses and a colt of her age. I think this is a good result...

paisjpq and scuds - the monthly cost is fixed at $1.000. Any other expenses are my obligation and the trainer assured me (besides any serious injury), I might spend $1.200/month.

DTS - I donīt think she is good enough to go to the US,...i just wanna get some experience. Maybe in a distant future I try to send one of them to the US.

Cunningham - I pretend her to race here in Brazil....And I am doing my homework. I am planning to spend all the money I will put....I am not expecting any return and I know I can afford it...There will be no huge extra amounts.

I know the risks...and I am willing to take them...

On her next race (15 days from now) I pretend to close the deal...

What do you think?

ps: my partnership on the filly will be 50% and the costs are around that amount I said.....for instance...this month the filly costed $1080 to the owner and she got 2 thirds and 1 fifth (returns of $1.350)...Almost even...But I insist... itīs not about the money...

Then go for it and enjoy it!...It is the greatest feeling in the world to watch your horse cross the wire first IMO....Good luck and keep us updated on his progress!

best of luck to you, if you buy her.
I was just giving an honest opinion not trying to discourage you.
I hope being an owner is a great experience for you.

I am sure you were trying to help!

Otherwise, you wouldnt spend your time answering the topic!

I see your posts as points of view I must analyse...not criticism!

I really appreciate!!

Thank you very much!
