Come on guys surely someone has a clue what it costs now to train a trotter in Victoria.
We are looking to set up a syndicate to lease pacers and race them (if they are good enough).
We are budgeting between $200 -$300 a week based on $40 a day for training fee.
Shoes are approx $$80- $100 every 3 weeks or so, and add racing costs such as transport, driver fee, race entry fee to get an approximation.
Unexpected vet expenses need to be considered. You may be asked to proved gear and rug, although some trainers rent these, or don't charge.
There would be many factors involved (location, depending how much you get service wise with access to vets, massage, different therapies - meaning some trainers use these things others don't I imagine)
Will try and find out from around my region if that helps.
Id say between $1000-$1500 per month plus expenses
Thanks for that costs seem high compared to returns avaialble unless horse is metro class.This horse i mentioned is.
