What to Look for When Betting Maiden Claiming Races on Turf

Description:
Maiden claiming races on the turf present a different type of handicapping challenge than most other races.
First of all, they are claiming races, so the horses in them are inherently flawed. Beyond that, they are maiden races, meaning the horses with racing experience are winless and some continually find a way to lose.
And let’s not forget, you also have account for how a horse will handle turf.
Mix all three together and you have a potent brew of unpredictability.
