Synopsis

Claim a horse with potential from someone who doesn't know what they have, take two seconds off the horse's time and start collecting the checks. The Complete Guide to Claiming Thoroughbreds tells you how to do just that. This book is aimed at the owners of claimers who want to start winning races and stop losing money. Tom Ivers tells you how to spot claimers at all price tags that you can improve and how to learn things about them that even the horse's trainer doesn't know.

From the Introduction: This books is about winning the claiming game. . . . If you follow all the rules modern horseracing has set up for you to obey without question, then you cannot possibly win the claiming game. The odds are at least 20 to 1 against your coming out of it with your shirt, no matter at what level you play. To beat those odds, you have to do almost everything differently than is conventionally done.
