This year the farm is celebrating its 100 years as a successful Thoroughbred breeder and caretaker.
You might know a horse named Secretariat from that Disney movie.
This was where he was conceived, raised, and lived his whole life at.

It costs the farm over $5 million each year to take care of the horses residing there.
The annual fee for this horse Pulpit is $50,000 and his earnings throughout his career is $730K.

I am in the wrong business.
I ought to give horse breeding another thought...

I was amazed learning how much each horse makes from races and breeding. Astonishing.
This explains all the fancy houses in my neighborhood.

The horse "circle" here is a whole new and complicated world to me. Mares, stallions, foals, Breeder's Cup, Thoroughbreds, needless to say the horses' fancy names. But I was happy to learn that horses love peppermints, like the ones you get in restaurants.
With a $750K price tag and this horse here prefers a cheap peppermint?
Yeee Ha!
