This is what I have NEVER figured out! Why would ANYONE in their right
mind invest $2500 or $3500 for the chance to win $1000 back? The only
advantage is if you can find a horse (cheap) already nominated, or breed to
a nominated stallion (it's still going to cost you $300 to nominate the foal).
Yes, there have been one or two people who nominated right before the ride
when they had a very good chance of winning the National Championship ($5000).
As a stallion owner with a reasonable stud fee ($400) I could never recoup
the $3500. PLUS, if I wanted FA AL BADI+ to win any money, I'd have to not
only nominate him as a breeding entry but as a nominated entry as well!
Yes, we did win the Regional Championship in 1992....could've won $1000 I guess...
Me, I'd rather invest my money in stocks or CDs!!!
