Illinois guys don't claim in NY or NJ. But they do claim at Gulfstream, and have for years off of the NY guys dropping.

Oh, I get it, only those Illinois guys know about starter handicaps, and the NY and NJ guys are a bunch of dopes that missed out on a golden opportunity.

Thanks for clearing this up for me.

I WAS NEVER talking about NY or NJ guys. Everything is about the east coast for you. I was SIMPLY stating that those IL guys will claim a horse like this.

If the horse even runs, we'll see on Wednesday.

Does NY even run straight starter races, or are they conditioned?

Again, having to be SO clear, I should have mentioned that all starters have some sort of conditions. It was more me asking if they run them without nw conditions on them.

Let's see, you don't know what kind of Starter races are run in NY, NJ, and I'll assume by extension the entire mid-Atlantic region, yet you figured it was just the Arlington trainers that would be clever enough to swoop in for this gem, but it is ME that only thinks about one region.

Good stuff dude.

Like I said....you're just typing.

Where did I say or 'figure' that it was just the Arlington trainers grabbing this guy?

Ok, fine....but shouldn't you have wondered why nobody jumped in on him before?
