I am sorry but huge purses for cheap claimers make no sense to anybody but the owners of cheap claimers. We as bettors keep getting told that higher purses will bring a larger fields. Maybe I am looking in the wrong places, but have not seen it yet. What I have seen is a lot suspicious drop downs at short prices in races that get a bunch of scratches that win just often enough to make the race unbettable. Races with double drop downs who ran 3rd last out going off at 3/5 in 5 or 6 horse fields aren't my cup of tea, nor do I think they are very other bettors's either.
