I had to laugh when I read this because I am so guilty of always thinking the grass is greener when you claim somewhere other than where you are running.

I used to drive my trainer crazy trying to get her to go to other racetracks to claim something. We'd always end up claiming at home, and somehow made it work.....

Well this isn't as much the grass is greener as it is the dirt aint dirt. They have none of it to run on out west and there are surely horses out there that are best on that surface and are being dipped into claimers cause of their inability to run well on turf or synthetics.
