If they got rid of all the horses in New York who are truly worth less than 15K true value to their owners ... you'd have a lot of horses going out.

And a lot more horses who are just a single condition or two away from joining them.

I remember the first year at Presque Isle when the wrote those stupid N1X alw races with 72K purses. A horse of Loren Cox's shipped up off of an open 5K claiming win at Mountaineer and won one of them with ease without even really improving his figure.

Cheap open claiming is good bread and butter horse racing. I'm not so sure Rapid Redux would even be worth 15K in NY.
