claimer
just guessing, and imo
1) maybe no one else wanted to ride this horse this time and the "bug" tried to get a pay check or experience. maybe no one was availiable.
2) weight. i don't even look at weights. did it help here? 122-->109. (est).
maybe if one horse is carring 129 and all others are at 105 in a 1 3/4.
i dont' know putting 5-6 lbs on a 1,000 lb horse comparing to the others. and in most claimer how often does one see lg amounts of weight swing. now a 50lb bag of potatoes on a horse might make a differance. which brings me to why weights are included. by the conditions.
what doc say class is performance is class. i don't look so much at the claming price/ALW as i look at the Purse price. a drop or raise in price to me is the difference. if a horse is going from a nw of 1, to a nw2, then the distance and the purse might change. but the claiming price will stay the same. Richiep did that wonderful MNR track pfofile. i tried to do the same thing using, 4000cl pr 10000, nw2, but could not find the same race twice in 1 mo! i guess whats stated is the performance lets the horse go up or down in purse money. but that's mo. if there are trainer who read this board / post, please explain if i'm wrong-right -half baked or halfway.

ps. Just IMO
