Total Cost

Of entering a horse to run in a maiden plate? from jockey fees to noms etc.

Jockey fees?you only pay for Noms...

Thor, trainers only pay nom fees in feature races in Kzn. In Phumelela country they pay in all races. Jockey fees are paid by the operator.

pay for average bred average looking horse at kzn sale 40000 ( extremely hope full )
pay for training fees for average of 15 months ( very hope full ) @ r5000 all in ( extremely hope full ) 75000
pay for privilege to race 3000
pay for colours 600
other little things and very importand NO VET PROBLEMS and you stand in for 120000 ish very very conservative.

every thing is fantastic in kzn no problems according to craig and you race for 41250 ( 1st place maiden plate ) LESS very conservative 17% 10% jockey 7% trainer if you lucky now you win 34 237.50.
