Someone enlighten me here: are claiming horses typically insured? And, if so, is it for a preset level or does it fluctuate depending on the last race level?

No, although some tracks will insure a 'claim' on a horse that breaks down. In Illinois you might get half your money back.

The claiming price is the max they will get if the horse is insured regardless of what the horse was covered for.

yes.. if a horse drops into a 5k claimer, it can only be insured for 5k. their values are always fluctuating.

edit: probably not "typically" insured, though we do have a lot of claimers we write.
