I doubt there is a competent trainer that would let me do that.
Also, I'd go harness first, at least I could get 35-40 starts a year. Way too much pressure if a horse starts 8-14 times a year.

Harness. Depends greatly on the circuit. In most cases, the purses are pretty small at minor circuits.
Yes, Standardbreds are more durable and have longer racing careers. They also can be effective purse grabbers at an advanced age.
