It's EXPENSIVE. Cost of the horse is only the beginning.

Had my mare at the track for a short time and it was stressful (I'm poor) even though I had no day rate for stall or training (perk of banging the trainer). It was almost a relief when she had a minor injury and I could retire her to the broodmare career I bought her for., though that's breaking me too.

Wow. From haskin's blog on bloodhorse. All I can say is ny

Union Rags requires silicone-free needles to
quote:

draw blood, because he is very sensitive on his neck, so Matz brought several silicone-free needles with him and informed the proper authorities in advance. But he still was given a hard time by the attending vet, who insisted on using regular needles and told him he’d have to clear it with the stewards. It took another vet to step in and help calm the situation.
