That's my humble opinion.  

It's clear what the owner or trainers, value their horses based on the tag that they're entered for.

There are too many (especially from what I've seen in the Midwest, and not so much in the East Coast tracks) conditioned claimers.  And once a horse exceeds the conditions, there's no place to race them.

Do you agree that straight claiming races are the best races to handicap?
