After I looked at my results night tonight...I can understand that kind of frustration
Fridays are usually the night I get my best results...more often than not, earning between $65,000 to $120,000 and usually running between 15 to 30 horses.
I ran 17 horses tonight -- 3 were in stake races.
The combined earnings of the 17 runners was a whopping $7,200.
My best finish was a 3rd in a 2 yr old filly maiden race with 5 competitors in that race.
Given the decent quality of the horses I have in my barn, and the quality of those running tonight - I don't think I've had a worse results night than this since like Year 25 ---Ok, I might be exaggerating there, but it's been so long I just can't remember such horrible results.
I doubt they even earned enough to pay the shipping to and from the track
Rant over.

Ok...this eases the hurt a little bit...
I just retired one of my stakes winning horses tonight. I probably should have done it last year.

After a night like this...I know it could have turned out Much Worse.
