When you can claim a horse for $10,000 and double your money by winning one race (as at Parx), it incentivizes decisions detrimental to the horse’s health & safety. NYRA recognized this, made changes to correct, and now is suffering in field size as horsemen move down the road to a track less concerned about the safety of the horses and jockeys.
No good deed goes unpunished.
