I totally disagree with you Pointg. Claiming races are what fills sometimes more than half of a racing card at a given track. And me, a guy who loves betting crap climing races, that's where I make my $$$ in this sport. I don't make it on the 6-horse field grade 1, or that allownace 44kn1x. I make it on 5kclmN3L races. If I don't have my claiming races, I might as well just show up 2 times a year- once on Derby Day, and Once on B.C. Day.
Also, you might as well just close and board up Canterbury, Mountaineer, Chuck-town, Penn National, Remington, Delta, Evangeline, etc etc etc etc. Pretty much any track not in So-Cal, NY, Kentucky or Florida...
