might sound like a stupid question, but what's the least you can spend on a set up to get shots like this:

basically I'm using a canon 500d with a 75-300mm cheapo lens and I want to know if getting a perfectly sharp image of a subject moving this fast is down to skill and a bit of luck, or if I had a 4 grand set up would it be easy to get a clear image with nice bokeh etc.
also, anyone got any advice about the standard settings for this sort of shot, assuming there's enough natural light to not need a flash. ISO, shutter speed etc.?
