Which is why I tend to focus my wagering on NY/KY/Gulfstream. I do plan on following the Tampa meet more closely this year than in previous years, but I have found these full, competitive fields of cheap horses to be very unpredictable. Which is certainly the nature of the cheaper claiming races everywhere.

There is no defending the quality of the jockey colony.
