Yeah OK Mr B its 20 bucks to turn a horse out and feed it and 100 a day to have it in training. I don't think 100 is crazy but save the "I am bearly breakin even" for someone who can't do the math. If you aren't paying extra for Gastrogaurd, shoeing, vitamins and tonics(always a fav), and etc 100 a day is ok in NY and Ca. 50 a day is the standard at Penn Nat and that is for 20%plus trainers.. No clue how much Marty Wolfson's shoes cost but if I had a horse with him I think I would be thrilled to pay the premium
