Pengo have you had a horse? I had one in a syndicate 10 years ago, if they pay there way you are lucky!!! with training ($1200 a month 10 years ago) and vet bills. Sure if you have a good horse that has won in town you may come out in front, what is the % of horses that win in town? The thrill of watching your horse go around can no be beaten!! |
