I have no opinion on Tom Amoss, but it seems, anecdotally, as if there are more claiming races limited to 3 year olds at Saratoga than there used to be. One angle that was OK the first weekend in these races is horses who have shown speed and run competitively in N2L claimers against older horses, running back against 3 year olds. The Nevin horse Saturday needed a head bob to win, and another in the first race yesterday finished second, but both were overlooked in the wagering, maybe because there is a perceived class jump because of the claiming price, 25,000 N2L vs. 32,000. Might be coincidence, but might be something interesting to watch for in these races.
