i have had a couple of mates who were new to the game decided to buy a lightly raced dog, then all prizemoney they won used it to buy that speculation pup and hope that the race dog paid majority of costs until it raced.

this worked quite well for them and gives them a chance of jagging that champion whilst still enjoying the thrill of racing a dog that was no champion but very competitive and paid his way.

but it all depends on what way you want to go, make sure you get good advice from people you can trust and then the rest comes down to good old plain luck.

good luck with what way you go morgan.
