Default Read this in some book...........

when a first line barn tries a young horse in an allowance or stakes without success(but showing some talent), they will be dropping them for a tag at a level that they should be very competitive. The idea is that Pletcher, Dutrow, Baffert, don't have time to play around with horses destined for the claiming ranks........ they want a claim.. today

I also love 3 year olds that have been on the shelf and given time to grow up after an initial race or two to gain some experience
