But I'm troubled by the perception that the 'class' of the races Saturday are somehow instantly 'poor' because they're maiden races. How is a field of 12 New Jersey bred dime claimers any better or more appealing than 10 NY bred maidens?
No need to apologize. My only point is bettors would like to have a fair shot with "form*" running horses, so when there are so many maiden races on a card how does one bet the exotics or make a straight W/P/S bet? It becomes very frustrating and eventually a turn-off to putting your money thru the parimutuels window.

* form = subjective
