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.

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.

I remember seeing that myself...I will go back and check the PPs (Brisnet) from this weekend
