Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, i was just wondering if anybody knows how much some of the Victorian harness trainers cost per week to train a horse, thanks....
 
i know of a trainer that charges $80 a fortnight, $40 a week, but cant remember who exactly, sorry.
Im sure either Brooklyn, Stressless or perhaps Sethlad could help with this

Seriously,cant feed them for that.

Geoff Webster is $33/day which is very reasonable IMO considering the results he gets.

i no some who are 800 a month i no sum who are 1200

but if u want a recommendation for the cheapest for value gary hoban does 800 a month...pays his own vet and travel fees...and hes a very good trainer with very good staff and stable drivers.

was ok for a bit...then it was terrible thru E.I....but now its getting better...its pretty much 5,000 for ur standard provincial race...the horses that u won would have to win a few of them to pay its way...metropolitan races range from around 8,000 to 15,000 and feature kind of races like country cups etc are around 20,000......no where near the money in harness racing then in gallops...but shit happens
 
Restricted penalty races are wroth $2000
Country penalty races are worth $5000.
Metropolitan penalty races are worth $15000

Saturday night country penalty races may be worth $7000 or $8000.

Terrific $$$
 
didnt see brooklyns post!

same costs as gallops for food etc but the horses aren't worth as much.

Not healthy compared to what we see for Thoroughbreds but I wouldnt be complaining, its risen since EI.
 
If u wana make a bit of cash with an average horse send it over to W.A where the big money is....some of them horses dont deserve to be running for that amount of money.....look at striding edge who i had an affiliation with...pretty much a hack but has gone over there and won his last 2 like a superstar for good money...
