a question

Great info Vic. Do tracks still use "stars" ? Used to be if you entered and didn't get into a race, you'd get a preference the next time you entered.

Also, I saw a wierd thing in the SAR pp's the other day. Not sure if it was an error, but it had a horse claimed last race from Michael Dubb/Jason Servis and now running for Michael Dubb/Rudy Rodriguez. Didn't make a lot of sense and wonder if anybody else saw that ? Maybe was an error.

I once had a horse with a partner and wanted to just claim the horse and get rid of him and they told me I couldn't claim him.

Another question. If I'm in a race with a horse, can I claim another entrant in that race? I enquired about that years ago and was told no. Maybe it's a state-by-state thing.

Not everywhere. Some states will only allow for 2 horses in the same race.

As for can you claim one from a race you're in. The answer to that is yes.

First for the Dubb horse. That has to be a mistake of some kind. An owner cannot claim his own horse using a different trainer.

Have never heard of a state that would prohibit you claiming one in a race you have an entrant in. What state was that? Are you sure that's what they said?

As for the "stars" system. It's pretty similar to using dates. I've been to tracks that use stars. Six of one half a dozen of the other.

Could it possibly be a private sale after the claim?

Any horse can be sold after a claim. But there are restrictions as to when that horse may run back for the new connections.
