Really?

I would consider maiden special at Turf Paradise to 32k Maiden Claiming at Santa Anita a jump in class. While the 32k maiden claimers aren't that tough at SA, those MSWs at TuP go for a purse of about 9k normally and they're not good races at all.

The universal MSW to MCl drop being a drop does not equate when you compare some different circuits.
