Adagio claims?

Those guys jump all over horses exactly like that, and I am sure you follow Illinois racing so closely you would know that. Gran Esteno comes to mind when claimed for 20 or 25k down at Gulfstream when he was being cut in half. Rivelli claimed that horse off of Dutrow I think, then he came here and romped and Stidham claimed him and won the Washington Park Handicap.

I don't need to follow racing at Arlington even one bit to know that you are just typing.

Everyone understands why a horse has value as a claim, including Rick Dutrow, but they also understand why it might be dangerous to claim certain horses. Maybe Adagio is claimed, but then again, one might have thought the same thing when he ran twice for $25K, once in NY and once in NJ.

Hey, here's an idea, why don't you tell your boss to claim the horse....hell, he might not even have to win a shake to get this prize for those Arlington Starter Allowances. And, I'll tell my boss about these clever Starter races....as we gotta start running them in NY.

That isn't the type of horse that we claim, nor would we. The type of horse that we would have claimed ran yesterday at Philly in the 3rd race, and we passed.

Illinois guys don't claim in NY or NJ. But they do claim at Gulfstream, and have for years off of the NY guys dropping.

Oh, I get it, only those Illinois guys know about starter handicaps, and the NY and NJ guys are a bunch of dopes that missed out on a golden opportunity.

Thanks for clearing this up for me.

I WAS NEVER talking about NY or NJ guys. Everything is about the east coast for you. I was SIMPLY stating that those IL guys will claim a horse like this.

If the horse even runs, we'll see on Wednesday.

Does NY even run straight starter races, or are they conditioned?

This is clever.

You meant this as a joke....right?

Again, having to be SO clear, I should have mentioned that all starters have some sort of conditions. It was more me asking if they run them without nw conditions on them.

[blackthroatedwind]

Let's see, you don't know what kind of Starter races are run in NY, NJ, and I'll assume by extension the entire mid-Atlantic region, yet you figured it was just the Arlington trainers that would be clever enough to swoop in for this gem, but it is ME that only thinks about one region.

Good stuff dude.

Like I said....you're just typing.

This part was a joke, too....right?
