Shining a light on a Yonkers classification problem
Am I the only one who finds Yonkers at fault for not placing restriction on their $15,000 claimers? It is ridiculous that Shine A Light wins at 1-9 every week and gets claimed in a shake. It is long past time for Yonkers to put a restriction to non-winners of a win in that class in last start.
This situation is entirely out of hand, with four or more trainers trying to rent the horse for a week. At some point the horse will break and finish last. Then people will claim the fix was in effect that night. Much better to force the horse to move up in class.
