Experience:
Licensed trainer for over 30 yrs. Have had lots of winners in all different types of races - from bottom claimers to top quality stakes winners. My best money winner was Aristocratic Cross (multiple stakes winner). My best claiming horse was Navajo Family, winner of 12 races in one year. I still enjoy racing a modest stable of horses each year.

Question i would like to have a rough estimate for a foal. i am currently a part owner of a mare named, pelota out of en costa de lago and lisa's game, we have put her to elvstrom and is due in july. could you give me a rough estimate for the foal please
Answer hi-- well, you can look up the mare and see if she has produced any other foals that have made the races and won any purse money. it is usually 60% from the mare side and 40% from the stallions side. you have to check on both sides of the family to see who made what and that will give you a estimate of the foals value thanks ED HESS
