Post by: toothman on February 18, 2023, 06:38:43 PM: Non-claiming claimers?

Post by: toothman on February 18, 2023, 09:16:24 PM: so you can have a horse racing well in a claiming class where your options are to keep him in the class and risk losing him, or raise him up a class, or......bring him to Pocono to face the same level of horses youve dominated with no risk of being claimed.
What is the reasoning behind this kind of race?

Claiming is juice heaven , go ahead and claim one and lose four seconds.

Post by: seen2much on February 19, 2023, 10:37:15 PM: I'll check the results. The pools say not many are betting Pocono. It's a track where the shady ones steal the majority of the money.
Time is up for Pocono Downs.

Post by: MCR on February 22, 2023, 03:28:17 PM: They are in place for a couple reasons. One people can protect their horses they wintered. Two they have a bunch of claiming series coming up probably so people can protect them for the series. Can't wait for the series.... LETS GO ZZZZZ SOME HORSES!!!

Post by: Low Groove on February 22, 2023, 04:22:19 PM: Yeah I like the claiming series.

Post by: Kirby's Ace on February 22, 2023, 05:40:52 PM: Like the above said it's to protect the guys who are racing now. If not, you would not be able to keep a claimer until they start the series.
