I just had this disussion with DrugS we claimed one a few weeks ago and he called me to tell me he was in great shape and as sound as could be. I told him to give the horse 30 days so we could race him at the same price tag some stupid rule about having to move them up in Pa if you re race them within 30 days of your claim.. I thought it was a stupid idea to risk racing him sound at a level he might not be able to win, when in 12 more days he would could easily win at the same claiming level. Basically the rules keep me and DrugS from re entering him not his condition. If he is sound after the race and we still have him I have no issue wheeling back in 8 to 14 days. He is a race horse, if they are sound, let'em race.

Best of luck.
