i dont only play turf but i do look online every night for the turf races for the next day , im in ny so there is no turf at this time of year i look at fairground, gulfstream, tampa bay, and santa anita, i think im a better turf handicapper, and as for the claimers its just a opinion if you just bet stakes and the nice allowances that you can find any day at the nyra track of florida or cali then i think you will do better, i could be wrong some ppl might like the claimers better, but i know for me when im looking to spot play 1 horse on a given day and make a big win place bet, i know it wont be in a claiming race, never.
