Cheap horses. The greater number of all inconsistent horses are cheap, and practically all cheap horses are in consistent. By “cheap horses” I mean those racing in claimers at major courses at valuations under $2,000, and almost all of those racing at the small half and three-quarter mile tracks where purses are low and competition inferior. Animals of this type can be figured, after a fash ion, but assurance that the figures will prove an accurate prediction is always less than in the case of real Thorough breds competing in good events at major courses. The cheapies are the kind the weekly tip-sheet proprietors hand out to their readers as probable winners simply be cause the skates win by accident on occasion, are lightly backed, and tend to pay longer prices than can be adver tised. No competent player will bother to examine the fields in these cheap races for inferior horses. Betting is a tough enough game at the best without assuming the added handicap of grubbing for winners in the sewers of the horse world.

Chronic maidens, horses of two, three, four and even five years of age which have raced repeatedly without winning, are a different proposition. It is immaterial how good their chances may appear on a time-comparison of the field or any other basis; they are suspect. Therefore a good rule for a player to adopt is never to play races for maidens of the sort I have called chronic. Two points may be mentioned. The rules of racing do not require an owner to “try” (to win) with a maiden. If he wants to enter one fifteen times just for the exercise no objection can be raised by officials or anyone else. The second point is that sometimes in races for maidens a player will note that the race is the first start for some one entrant. If this horse is well bred, and particularly if he is owned by an important stable, then the smart thing may be to bet him. The others have proved repeatedly that they have nothing; the previous non-starter may have something on the ball.
