Claimers are one of my favourite types of races. Most of them consist of two or three with a chance and a bunch of no hopers. The top weights are the place to look, and there have been seasons when there’s been a near break even situation blindly backing the top weight.
Claimers are a decent target for exposed horses that have ability but are held by the handicapper. Yes there is a risk that trsiners might lose their horse but, in the main, there isn’t a claiming culture in this country.
Not so keen on sellers, but I’m sure there are one or two on here who would swear by them even if for no other reason that a good percentage of the runners wouldn’t win a walkover.
