Barry, Barry, Barry.
"Anybody who tries to build a stable of racehorses selected strictly on numbers always winds up on the short end of the stick".
There have been three times when I've been involved in doing exactly that on any significant scale. The first two stables ended up finishing in the top ten in the country in wins. The third was Prestonwood, for whom I bought 23 horses, 13 of which won stakes, including Victory Gallop, Distorted Humor, and Da Hoss. Average cost of the 23 horses was something like 125k-- I think the data is still available in the horseman's section of this site. We are just starting to build that type of operation for Ro Parra, and so far have come up with GII winners Even The Score and Santana Strings.
I've asked you this before, and you did not respond. You claim to have a better way to go, with Team Valor-- how about doing what I did, and give us a list of all the horses purchased on your recommendation over a 5 year period, what they cost, what they earned, and what they were worth upon retirement?
