Buying a filly or broodmare

Hello everyone, first time poster here and looking for some advice on a possible project. I live in the UK but spend about 6 weeks in SA during Jan/Feb/Mar. I have for a long time wanted to get involved in racehorse ownership and breeding. The costs of this kind of project are prohibitive in the UK especially in terms of training fees (around £2,000 per month). I want to explore the possibility of buying a mare in foal or a yearling filly in South Africa and racing her with a view to sending her to the breeding paddocks at the end of her 3 or 4 year-old season. She would need to be based in or near Cape Town. I want to live the dream a bit on this one and would like to entertain ambitions of this filly or her progeny being high class. Can anyone on here give me an idea of training costs with a suitable trainer and the cost of keep for a broodmare. Many thanks, I have been a follower here for some time and know I am asking the right people.
