Just remember that there are 2 givens in racehorse ownership, and bills are one 
Good luck mate. |
Thanks Hustler, all opinions taken onboard. Have raced a few previous so know which end kicks! Been away from the game for some years though and thought I would test the water. Hate to ring a trainer cold and ask him what he charges...tyre kickers everywhere and if it was me...spose I'd be a bit p----d off. Just hoping someone will give me a heads up to what some of the better trainers charge...I see Gay and Bart don't hide, and tell you on their websites...Gay is actually very resonable..Bart at $4000 per month is up there? but you get what you pay for one suspects. Thanks again and I'll stay tuned.
