Valerie is right, it takes a special combination to make any kind of money  in our area in the QH races.  I hear that your Canadian purses have gotten pretty decent in the past year.  I find that unless you have a top runner, you are better off running in overnight races rather than the stake races if you want to make a profit.  Good luck.

Subscibe to the Speedhorse racing magazine.  They always have stud horses listed for sale in their classifieds.  I would sell you my stud but I do not think he would be extemely competitve in the halter classes.  He is more "racey" in build than the QH halter confirmation build.  He would work in the other areas.

We run into the same problem at the track in Mt. Pleasant MI.  Trainers inthe past have gone to tracks out West and got jockeys that were at the bottom of the food chain to come to our track.  Helped them and us out.

Ramsey,

I know Del's family.  I think it has been awhile since you listed this post but I could get you their phone number if you are interested.
