Question for Arlington fans

[Duvalier]

I don't follow Arlington racing but couldn't help but notice Nick Canani's unbelievable stats. Winning with 20 of 37 starters and 31 for 37 in the money?

That is incredible. What exactly does he do different than other trainers?

FCC?

FCC and that they put horses into alot lower purse races than normal. FCC wants wins and doesn't care about dropping a horse more to get a win.

His owner claims horses for 15-20K and runs back at 10K so he can complain about losing money at the end of the year. I thought once FCC found out Canani was Cuban and not Italian he'd be gone but I was wrong unless Frank's hearing is really bad.

[Duvalier]

Do people then claim those big drop downs off of them and actually get decent horses on the cheap and have pretty good success with them in subsequent races? Seems like it might be good for other owners at Arlington...being able to find horses at bargain prices.

Worming, shoes, etc.

When Calabrese/Catalano used to take these big price drops,they would get claimed every so often.
It seemed like the animals would typically run horribly in their next start or two after the claim for some () strange reason. Betting against favorites first off a claim from Calabrese/Catalano used to be one of the best betting angles at the track.
The last two years I have played far less then I did previously, so I'm not sure if the same holds true for Calabrese/Canani.

it still does. FCC has the best equine medical-care money can buy.

I'm sure his horses could dive to record depths.

According to formulator stats the owner/trainer combo with claiming horses is 103 starts
43 wins 42%
78 itm 76%

No one has claimed any of his horses since the owner/trainer got together a year ago in May.

They also have a bunch of old veterans that live in the hyperbaric for weeks on end and then run a couple good races till their limbs give out.

He claims for 20k and they are in for 15k, if it was a bad claim they are almost automatically in for 5k.

Those are the only races that are going up here right now also so ole FCC is paradise.

They have had 13 horses claimed from them during the AP meet alone.
