Look for a horse that is returning to its favorite surface.
Also, look for a horse that is popular at the claim box. I mean...if a horse gets claimed 3 times in a row...there must be something about that horse right?

Not sure they apply anymore but the early double is chalk (let's the majorty get some cash for a hot dog or beer) and the last race is the 'jocks race' (meaning the barn or connections that need one, will be given a chance and it's bombs away) This was early 70's logic on how to play the first 2 and last race. And real cappers believed and followed it. How far handicapping has come.

It's like how...if there's a graded stakes race with an even money lock, they'll move it up earlier in the card out of the pick 6. So the earlier races are always easier on average.

in the old days it would be an IL Bred Mdn 5K claimers coming in from farms no one ever heard of. Trainers of favorites would already be in Sylvia's (corner bar) watching horses thru the fence seemingly knowing there wasn't much chance of a pic. This was pre pic 6 time and bookies would pay track prices so you know being Chicago in the day there was something to it. Later we had the twin tri but that was after the fire and Arlington was run a bit tighter IMO.
