Do trainers pay the trackwork riders or does rwwa/pr?
Less feed, less track work, less fees to maintain car/float, rent/ utilities. Would assume maybe trainers gets half of that then has to pay tax on it?
Not really a shortcut to the Forbes 100 . Definitely not offering to pay more though O:-)

Why is it that harness trainers can do it at lower costs when they have many of the same overheads and in general have to be trained harder and longer than a thoroughbred?

trainers and jocks make the money in the industry....I'd be surprised if the top 50% of jockeys don't make a good living out of riding, and probably the top 25% of trainers. All the rest are relying on luck and secondary incomes.
Whereas I doubt if there is more than 5% of owners making it past break even...and the other 95% either have the money to spend and do it for an activity, or hold that small a percentage that the buzz of owning a horse is more important than worrying if the books are balanced!!

Out of curiosity sprucey, do you mean country trainer like Albany? Or just a lark hill type trainer?
My Physio bills are zero.
Transport zero.
Medication zero.
Farrier zero.
Agistment zero.
I've got greyhounds.
Then the other half is I've got horses and do not look at the bills because I don't want to get depressed.
