You see now that Mr. Ramsey is putting all his eggs in the Kitten Joy basket, the claims have been very few and Maker gets a barn full of home breds, that may or may not be able to run....instead of claiming a horse for a specific spot or condition.

Hope this helps you understand the game a little better.

Um, I will admit that the tank comment was a dig at his ability to use it at will.

And I wasn't starting the thread to get Maker people fired up, I was actually curious what happened.

So Maker has to change from a claiming trainer to primarily a turf trainer, should be interesting.

Thanks for teaching me the game.....Sigh
