This may be the answer I was looking for. I hadn't thought of it that way. In races for older horses I often like a horse in for the tag as he's won far more than the alc horses but with the 3yo's it's a bit trickier. I had forgotten that if you win with the tag you keep the condition.

I understand the Opt/Cl idea. It was a but odd though to see horses eligible for the condition running for the tag. After all they are facing the same rivals, tag or not. It makes sense though now, looking at it in terms of future races.

Thank you all!
