The lines between claimers and stakes horses doesn't exist anymore. Used to be that there was a clear distinction. Not anymore. This winner was just running in claimers. The current favorite for the Big Cap was in optional claimers in November. The winner of the grade two at Gulfstream today is a claimer. The horse that finished second in the Stymie is a claimer.
