Maybe they are a lot closer than the purse indicates. I even tried to research training costs at as many tracks/circuits as I could, but there's not much info out there.

I have seen training rates vary from 35 to 95 a day at the same track, depending on the trainer. And the higher one may not be the better trainer.
