Okay, the superstition angle was B.S.
Don't know if it falls into the "angle" catagory, or if it's just something to watch out for, but second-timers coming off disappointing debuts in which they broke slowly or held an inside post along the rail are worth a second look. The dirt being kicked in their face for the first time and/or the rail messing with their psyches can make their first trip a trying one. I read this or heard it on the show (can't remember which) and it makes a lot of sense. Otherwise, I'd really stress the MSW to Maiden Claiming that someone mentioned before as a general handicapping rule or angle.

Read this in some book...........
when a first line barn tries a young horse in an allowance or stakes without success(but showing some talent), they will be dropping them for a tag at a level that they should be very competitive. The idea is that Pletcher, Dutrow, Baffert, don't have time to play around with horses destined for the claiming ranks........ they want a claim.. today
 I also love 3 year olds that have been on the shelf and given time to grow up after an initial race or two to gain some experience I/L
