Trainer Karen Headley was told that her previous 20-stall barn would be halved, on account of reportedly missing the number of individual starters she was expected to make at the recent winter/spring meet at Santa Anita. Headley said, however, that she came to a “respectable agreement” with Santa Anita, and her 20-stall allotment was later reinstated.
......of the scale, however, the overall number of trainers with fewer than 20 individual horses making at least one start per year fell by 90 between 2007 and 2016, but their share of overall earnings grew by $17 million the same period.
