We have a trainer here in Northern California who does the "claim and drop" a lot. Hell claim a horse for $12.5K and then race it in an $8K claimer - and the horse will win. I'm sure he does this for his win %, he's regularly has a 30%+ win %. I actually look for horses that ran like cr*p before he got them because I know that he's going to "work his magic", drop them and they'll win at good odds.

I think it helps if you know the usual reasons why the trainer in question drops horses, if he's the type that usually drops to dump, stay away. If the trainer does it so he can get the win, take a chance.
