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.
Just look to Penn National for your answer, where $4k claimers run for a purse almost 4 times the claim price.
