Episode 59 of Chicago Race of the Day takes a look at a surprising allowance/optional claiming condition in Friday’s 2nd race, a competitive and classy polytrack sprint. It explores the concept of running out of conditions and deciding when you just have to drop a horse in for the tag and risk a claim, points out why it’s not suspicious for some nice horses to be up for the tag in this spot, and, as always, dives into the race from a handicapping perspective as well.
