what are your thoughts about the claiming method in the U.S., the pros or the cons of it, and why?

Question by racetracjac: what are your thoughts about the claiming method in the U.S., the pros or the cons of it, and why? also I would like to hear from the horse individuals from other nations on what techniques are utilized to retain horses of the identical level running against every single other. How they function and are the horses passed from trainer to trainer or if they stay in the same steady for their racing occupation unless of course they are privately sold. factors of this nature. the pros and cons of it all. And in your horse racing program are there limits on how several races a horse can enter and run in a yr? And at what age do they commence to race? Quaz7070 you only answered component of my Q. what system do you have in spot that keeps horses of equal capability with each other. I want to know what you know and think about it and in the United kingdom. method do horses get passed around a good deal and can you buy horses from a race or is it up to the trainers or owners and are only sold privately. bwj1963....I did not inquire what a claiming race is I know all about them, I know the business of it, I asked what you think about it and why. And I collect you assume it is O.k. or a excellent technique, and I disagree with two aspects of your reply. First, claiming horses typically consider up 80% of the common card, because even if there are 2 or three allowance races on a week day card one of them is a maiden allowance, and one is typically those in no way won other than maiden or claiming, they are not genuine allowance races and are filled with claiming horses, inflated claiming horses, but nonetheless claiming. And most of individuals maidens end up in the claiming ranks as nicely. The other thing is that I feel it is a mediocre system at its very best, from a horseman point of view, and does not encourage great horsemanship and/or sound decisions for a horses effectively getting. From a company point of see or a horse players point of see it does operate o.k., but I think there are greater methods elsewhere, but I did not ask the Q. correctly. I am going to restate my Q. since I want to know how other countries deal with the horses of lesser capability as well as how horse men and women and horse gamers from close to the planet, really feel about their certain method, the pros and the cons of it. this was my initial Q. and from this exp. I believe I can re-state it much better, thanks for your solutions, both of you, I see that the difficulty lies in the Q. not the answers. bjw1963_ you hit the biggest the nail on the head at one of the worst troubles with our method, about dropping a horse in from 50,000 to 25,000 Unless it has a Problem. Did you ever ride a horse with A Difficulty. With ten other horses close to you and all of a sudden that problem will get a great deal worse in a heartbeat and the PROBLEM'S leg snaps and down you go. And that's the Issue. Do you know what that feels like for the jock and the horse? Best solution:
