Right now I have a 2 yo in training. My instructions to my trainer is not to run him until he has a shot to win the race. If that means starting him in Mdn $5,000, that is ok. If that means never starting him, that too is ok.
IMO the place Owners make their biggest mistake is running for the sake of running rather than running to win!

I think you misunderstand my point. I completely, 100% agree with you.
I'm just saying that in the partnership being discussed, ROI is not taken into account. Knowing when to quit is vastly under-rated imo, and it's not just about having a pretty horse to go visit. It's a business and should be treated that way.
