I don't agree with the new rule to limit the purses to 2x of claiming tag. I loved when MP had nickels running for 30k. I loved how the fields were huge and horses would drop from being well placed in 20k claimer into 5's. I thought it was fun handicapping and added to the fun. What's wrong with a field of 12 7500 claimers running for 28k?
