I'd be very, very interested to know how many were in jail, what % were on the drop, rise or back same. This is one factor I look at ALL the time as I am in the claiming business, but you might be surprised that trainers who shoot big #'s off the claim, are often on the drop. Argue all you want, but the top claiming trainers, and I know plenty of them, know their business stone cold. Most of my trainers know every single claiming horse on the grounds -- watch them work, race, cool out, etc. -- so it makes it much easier.

Doesn't mean there isn't "something else" but I'd look at those #'s.
