Addressed that above. It's not about the ALW/MSW races. It's the cheap races that are running today (only 2 ALW's) that caught my attention..

So... the $1,500 to run in these tougher claimers adds the incentive to enter? I would imagine this is why we still see over 10 entries per average on a "bad" day of races like today.
