OWNING horses can be a risky business, but trainer Nikki Burke has an eye for cheap ones who can pay the bills.
The prize pie in horse racing is sliced into many pieces.
Officially, jockeys get 5 per cent and trainers 10.
Slings can be anything or nothing, depending on the whim of the owner, who takes home about 80 per cent.
A trainer who owns will either prosper or perish.
Good earners, those bread and butter horses, are money-making machines.
Slow ones, on the other hand, are like dead weights.

Burke has a simple, effective, no-fuss training philosophy.
The horses don't go to the races unless they can earn a cheque.
Burke hates carting horses across the state for no return.
The game - and petrol - is simply too expensive to fool around.

Stately Spirit went to Yarra Valley in Sunday and after winning by a comfortable four and a half lengths, went home looking like a money-making machine. He is one of the few Bel Esprits who have raced in the City at their 1st start(Black Caviar was another a fortnight ago)as a 2YO so he must have shown something early.
Stately Spirit has Noalcoholic(3 winners) as a Grandsire and was bought as the Inglis sales in Melbourne in March 2007 for $100,000, maybe this fella will be good enough to go back to the City and get some of the big money.
Congratulations to the owners. K Williams, C Johnstone, High Country Syndicate, Miss N Burke, Dooza Syndicate, Mrs D Williams, R Williams & Ms C Williams
