Every track has to offer claimers, everybody's gotta eat and the owners and trainers who train those horses need sufficient spots with which to race their investment. No argument there from me.
But like you said, FG splices in allowance and grass races and stakes on weekends with these claimers. Their cards are balanced and because they mix up the condition book, you don't get the same exact horses meeting each other every two weeks at the same distance(cough cough cough Gulfstream cough cough).
Its the variety and balance and liberal use of the grass course that makes the place a real treat to follow and bet.
