Hockey, ive heard the same about Pletcher as well. I guess when a drop down happens if it doesn't "make sense" then that worries me. A horse that was somewhat competitive at a higher level and drops fine but a winner then to the same level or lower worries me. Also, agree with the big purchase horses going into claimer. Ive just seen too many horses that are maidens over and over. It would just scare me to death to drop a horse into a clm race off a few races. I mean damn wouldnt you try everything you could think of b4 doing that??? Sprint, grass, grass sprint, route. I would just hate to loose out have someone claim the horse and the horse goes on to do something great. I agree Hooves, great topics and i appreciate all of the imput from all on the board.
