Training rates in East coast

Tappiano-
I did that the first time out - with my filly. Didn't do to well. Thats why I am listening to everyone here. Taking in everything that people have gone through helps.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but did you ask for references or check out how many different clients your previous trainer had? Did you go by multiple times before you hired him/her including at least one unannounced and verify everything was in order? Also, did you talk to anyone else on the backside?

I'll send you a pm.

Now I am going out on an uncomfortable limb here and if people get offended or if I start something that I am not supposed to do, please stop me.
Because I am not from the East Coast:
1. Which trainers do people feel are 70 plus category and why?
2. Which trainers do you believe should be better with sprinters Vs Stayers?

It's to early to tell what my filly is going to be but sometimes if you listen to what people have experienced or seen handicapping wise or have had a horse that was a sprinter or stayer you ( I ) can avoid pitfalls.

It's more along the lines of paying to be AT a specific location than saying a trainer is worth 70 a day. If the people who break your horse give you good feedback and you are willing to spend that money then do it. They won't be able to tell you how fast your horse is, but they will at least tell you where she might be competitive. I wanted my horse to be down the street from me so I probably pay a fair bit more than I would if I sent him back to Ky to race.

One thing to remember is we are talking about an unbroken yearling who FIRST needs to be saddle broken and started before heading to the racetrack. There are LOTS of places that are excellent at getting young horses broken and going that are super solid, provide the youngster with a good foundation and charge nowhere near the regular day rate of an on track race trainer. You can get her into one of these programs and still be on the lookout for your actual race trainer. Just a suggestion.
