The same applies to the dirt horses.

Why isn't the racing secretary carding races for these horses?

The racing secretary from Thistledown is writing their races. Last wek I saw $12.5k NW2L claimers, on GRASS.

Of course, he's writing races for he horses that are there. With the guys who handle better stock (Mott, Pletcher, etc) spacing their races further apart, the better allowances just don't fill as easily.
