Question Hi, I would like to know what is your best advice for someone just starting to get into horse racing.
Answer Elyssa,
The absolute best advice that I can give a beginner is to learn everything that you can, never think that you know everything that there is to know, and never spend any money on horses that you are not completely willing to lose.
There are no guarantees that any horse, regardless of purchase price will ever win a dime, and regardless of their racing ability, they will still need to be fed and cared for, which isn't cheap.
Good Luck,
Stephanie Frost
