This is supposed to be a good news story

But when I hear how many of them are contributing to the operation for $28k prizemoney in about 3 months - I can't help feel like it is chicken feed
I know in our industry that 30 starters for $28k IS considered good
Normally you would assume they are getting better training fees than this from the owners - owners literally 'support' trainers, but Adam owns the horses he races so I am thinking the prizemoney is pretty much it
Despite these good results the stable cannot be affording a luxurious lifestyle after you take out all the expenses
There can of course be additional returns from 'the punt' for some but that is called gambling
Oh the love of the game
Training horses reminds me of the old stories of men fulfilling their dream to buy a pub but then struggling to make ends meet

Of course I am reading a lot into this story and do not really know their circumstances

I know money is not everything and the joy of doing what you love (while surviving) is reward in itself but I would like success to be better than that
