Is claiming where all the corruption is? Why dont we tighten up guys trying to jerk owners for 100k when a horse is 300? Why dont we tighten up the sales a little bit. The claiming game is just fine, if you dont do your homework you get stuck with a cripple, tough ****.

Sniper,
There are some people who belong in this game, and there are ALOT of people who have no business in this game. If someone cannot sustain a financial hit for the full amount of the claim they are considering, they shouldnt play. We dont need anymore reform in the claiming game, infact its great the way it is. Guys get to dump horses, cheat with horses, steal horses, its what makes the game go. The claiming side of the game is where all the money is generated, its where all the fields are filled, where most of the players get action. Its basically racing, most of racing is claiming. You think they should change a system thats working well because a few guys claimed bad horses? I say F those guys........If a trainer or owner isnt willing to put in his homework to get a sound horse, they deserve whatever brokedown horse they get. Any trainer who cares about his owners will go out of his way to make sure they claim a sound productive horse. Sniper, I dont think we need to do anything with the way the claiming game works. I know a few owners who get just as much joy out of stuffing a bad horse on someone as they do winning a race. If thats how they want to play the game let them play.

ok people well numero uno i dont think is gonna fly over as a couple have mentioned in the thread. second of all, if some of you only knew the condition of some of the horses you bet and win on, some of the best ones are sore and some cant even come outta their stall for a few days after the race yet they have heart and run their eyeballs out everytime you stick em in a race. others spend several hundred just to getta horse to the paddock on raceday. i personally have layed my horse up on 2 occasions already, once for 4 months and again this year for 5 months and i havent even had him 2 years lol and have done nothing but spend spend spend. believe me hes not even half as bad physically as many of the horses you see running every single day but this is a business and most owners and trainers will strictly treat it as such and not take the time to layup a horse if theres any chance they can run
