Equine Management Tips
This is the kind of stuff that keeps us going:
I recently learned that thoroughbred trainer D. Wayne Lukas has won more Triple-Crown races (13) than any other horse trainer, more Breeders’ Cup races (17) than any other horse trainer, and higher earnings than any other horse trainer (14 years), for a lifetime total of an astonishing $250 million. As a student of management, I learned something even more interesting: that he’s done this by challenging the conventional wisdom that a horse should always be raced in a location near its stable. Bucking conventional wisdom, Lukas shipped horses to tracks around the country, carefully picking locations and races that offered a given horse the best chance for victory, while also gradually increasing the level of competition for that particular horse over time.

Wow what a great informative blog. I really like the topics covered. If you would like to visit my blogs as well please visit www.horsegalore.com We recently added a new translation feature to our site which is totally cool for those who are not affluent in English. I love horse blogs as I am learning new things every day from them.
