I'm not sure what the upside is to having a lot of activity at the claim box, but whatever incentive there is to claim is based partially on what you can earn relative to what you are paying for the horse (and the day rate and other costs). So let's say you thought you could claim some horse for 10K and have a decent shot of covering your annual training costs and getting back your investment, if the cost was suddenly 15k instead, you'd be less likely to make the claim. Of course, people could always negotiate privately.
