Is this just a California thing? Learn something new all the time.
Not sure if its just a Cali thing, but i can remember a high profile horse within the past few years returning in like a 50k claimer under these claiming restrictions. The name of the horse eludes me, and its bothering me.. I want to say Lava Man, but thats probably wrong.
