Do you suggest to claim her back for $13250?

Did you also happen to notice that the race before hers on Sunday was a $4k claimer for nw3 lifetime and, taking liberties in extrapolating out fractions for comparison, the winner of that race ran a faster 6.5f time than Rampy's final time?

So, let's say she is running for $12.5k nw2 claiming next time and you claim her. She wins the race so then her next race is a nw3 lifetime. What level do you run her at if she wouldn't have won for $C4k nw3 on Sunday?

One other thing to remember about claiming at Charles Town, the horse is in jail for 60 days after the claim and has to be raced at Charles Town for that period of time.

right. emotions aside, she wouldn't be a sensible horse to try to claim back right now. but i can't think why the money from the claim couldn't be put to good use for another horse.
