As I know that you know -- this game is setup so harshly for the bettor and the owner.
If you are running 5k horses for 15k, why not make them 10 or 15k horses? Raising the claiming price does nothing to hurt the current owner unless he is looking to get rid of damaged goods. The purse stays the same, and he is less likely to lose his horse. I don't have a lot of sympathy for owners looking to get rid of damaged goods.

Raising the claiming price is also still going to keep the wannabe Coles out, even moreso.
