I see Staffan Lind and Karl-Erik Bender paid $500,000 for a yearling trotting filly. I hope he has driving god Miller drive her if he has any plans of getting that money back anytime soon.
Let's just speculate that they will have at least $650,000 in her through her three year-old year in stakes payments, training, vet, shoeing, tack, transportation, etc. That would mean she needs to make approximately $735,000 at two and three just to break even (with driver and trainer percentages). slaphead
Of course if she does make that much money at two and three, she will be a bargain because every colt or filly out of her will bring a premium price as well. I'm just saying that the highest priced yearlings in harness racing have a history of not paying for themselves, and I'm betting this filly will not buck the trend....and I sincerely hope I am badly mistaken.

Last I saw sales were down 15%. Not a good sign.

Wild Honey has over a Million in the Bank.......Barn Doll hasn't left the state of New York and has over $400,000.......If she's any good, the money will be there, of course If she's not......that's a different story

I understand there are trotting fillies capable of earning that much money, but the odds are against any trotting filly even making the races at two.

can always breed her to the top of the line stallions and get back a nice piece, definitely has pedigree
