Anyone shocked by the lack of invaders?  Anyone see anything they like in them?

Looks WEAK!  Fact is - this antiquated rule on claiming w/ a 30 day req. to switch track is just plain stupid in Ohio.  A lot of trainers race at N'field and the SW OH tracks.  However, once the SW racers get in a weekly routine on the schedule ... well, it upsets the routine too much to switch out to N'Field, and - why?  if your horse is any good, even mediocre, he's getting claimed the 1st week anyway at the usual purse amount  *  so, the introductory week also discourages anybody from slapping down the fee unless they're hoping to get a horse claimed.

There will be multiple claims on multiple races just like last two years.

I would agree, especially for the boys and trotters.
