What was Johnny thinking?! Since she wasn't in for the tag, that means that the
loss against first condition allowance or $40k claimers doesn't count.
Thus making her a contender in this Grade 2 event.

She was already a SW against Cal-bred company, but that doesn't count against open n1x conditions.

In a robust racehorse population it wouldn't be relevant in a Grade 2 race, either.
I guess there's no significance to the fact that the racing office makes a
state-bred stakes inconsequential with regards to open races.

Repeat after me - OC40/n1x-N means the horse is running in an open An1x, not for the claiming tag.

Yep. Cuz they'd never risk running this filly in a claiming race.
Well, except for those first two races.

this was a prep race for the La Canada (tilde over the n).
|
And so the prep for the El Encino was an optional forty claimer (is there a U after the F?)?

Dixie also had a (one-turn, less useful) race in Nov after many months off and had plenty of company up in the first flight.

Never mind that the real prep for the El Encino, the La Brea, is around one turn.
