It's like how...if there's a graded stakes race with an even money lock, they'll move it up earlier in the card out of the pick 6. So the earlier races are always easier on average.

in the old days it would be an IL Bred Mdn 5K claimers coming in from farms no one ever heard of. Trainers of favorites would already be in Sylvia's (corner bar) watching horses thru the fence seemingly knowing there wasn't much chance of a pic. This was pre pic 6 time and bookies would pay track prices so you know being Chicago in the day there was something to it. Later we had the twin tri but that was after the fire and Arlington was run a bit tighter IMO.
