Pedigree Query

Assuming you go the claiming route... what level of purse to claim price does it take to even have a chance to break even. For example, today at AP, there was a $14,000 claiming race for a $15,000 purse; a MD 10,000 for $10,000 purse, a 25,000 claiming race for a $22,000 purse etc. Can a horse runni...

Thanks Roguelet, could someone please help me with the anticipated expenses end of this route? How much am I going to pay for this potential runner (if I am smart about it) and how much for the boarding/training expenses each year. Trying to learn how much I'm going to have wrapped up in this horse ...

A couple of questions... From your pdf file in the link... What do the initials in the "Bet" column mean? Is that the horse the system picked? And, what is the significance of the Bold print horses? So I don't have to do a week's worth of math, is there a summary win/loss for all of the races in you...

Again, thanks for all who replied to my "dumb question" post... Now, can someone give me a source for tracing currently active 3-4 yr old to their earlier auction histories? What I am wanting to do is go through some sale results from a few years ago... make my own evaluations of them as if they wer...

Thank you all for your encouragement and kind comments. Nothing I like better than a helpful, educational message board. I'll post the first "dumb one" here in awhile. Thanks

Before I start posting various "dumb" questions on this board over the course of the next year or two, I thought I should introduce myself and offer some background. First, I have been lurking around here and some other sites for the past several weeks trying to absorb as much information about this...
