Albury, how much does it cost to keep a horse training and racing? With exception of purchase price…
I've got a few horses with Anthony Honeyball and his monthly charge is £1800. Also had some with Olly Murphy and his charges ranged from £2200-£2800 a month.
Expensive hobby.
Out of interest, if you was the sole owner of a horse, how would the prize money usually be divided between owner, trainer and jockey
From my position its 70% owner, 10% trainer, 10% jockey and then 5% stable staff and 5% into a racing charity

And you've still got to pay the jockeys riding fee,entries and travel costs.

All jockeys get the same standard riding fee.But then there are all different prize money percentages,retainer fees,sponsorship money plus some trainers do cover travelling costs for some jockeys.
Absolutely sickening. The IHRB in particular but also the BHA have to get their fucking act together and start policing the sport far, far better - in line with the wishes (demands in fact) of the majority of those who love and support the sport. This is totally and utterly unacceptable.
Does anyone know of an online resource to historic racing results? Looking to go back to a meeting at Stratford in January 1970 and I presume it’s horses as a quick google says Stratford dogs had closed by then.
It was my better half’s grandads last bet (that we have come across whilst going through some keepsakes). He collapsed outside the bookies and died very soon after. We think it was New Year’s Day 1970.

If you do the exact search: "spanish town" "red rally" "ease" "cherubini" with all the quote marks etc on the site Gary posted it gives 9 newspaper entry results - including one for New Years Day 1970
I think this might be a struggle. Also, there is an indication at the bottom of the slip that there was a return of his stake i.e. the race meeting might have been abandoned and he had just got his money back although I would have thought that this slip would have been retained by the Bookmaker had this been the case.

Or it could have been a lost slip that he completed a copy of to claim a void but never got round to claiming it - or it's a hand-written receipt from the bookmaker and he did get his money back (there's no till stamp).
Either way, Charles Webb would have been taken over by one of the big boys many, many moons ago and the chances of a record still existing are remote in the extreme.

Just want to trace the results out of curiosity as it would’ve been his last bet. the shop is now a Ladbrokes and my earliest recollection is that is was a E Coombes bookie.

It was 31 December 1969 race card.
Cherubina won the 2.30 at 8/11 and the last three races including the 4.30 were abandoned.

The top jockeys are on stable/owner retainers as well as winnings and earn fortunes. The average journeyman/woman jockey earns a living, no more.
