I don't understand why you pay $24k for a horse that could have been claimed for $15 or $20k. I don't see any downside other than that and I admit I don't understand. I'm just happy to be part of it (even if it is a very small part.)

Thanks again !
Vetting means full x-rays and scoping. Claiming a horse without doing any of that is much, much riskier. There could be plenty of chips and airway problems present that you'd never know about in a claimer.
