Split purses is exactly what I was referring to. And it isn't not affording the day rate, thats just not the route we want to go. Most people that use someting like that win 2 races and realize the trainer is getting a bunch of the purse and go to someone who charges a day rate. Or maybe the horse or trainer doesnt produce then we will be on the downside just like anyone in the business can be at anytime. This is just the best way for us to do it right now. Maybe later I will get one of the best trainers and pay a huge day rate, but not now this isn't just about me but about 3 people who just want to have fun doing it but like most people in the industry we want to win as much as possible.
As far as the condition the horse is kept, this is why I want and ask for advice from the charlestown insiders. Who to talk to, who not to talk to etc etc. I love horses and would never want my horses mistreated, but anyone could not show the horse the attention and care that they need again thats why I ask for help from the people who know.
