12 dimes a month profit. not too shabby of a living.valueman said:I'm sure there are many in the US too but there are certainly many in the UK. I wouldn't say I make a living from horses. I'm up about $60k since october but as my season finishes soon, it may get to $70k(maybe not) so not living standards yet.
Certainly interms of % profit to stake it's way easier on horses but the bad runs tend to be longer and cash flow is more unpredictable.
