Today's (Friday, January 23rd's) first race is a $12,500 claimer. Was this rule for only maiden claimers or was it extended to open claimers? Pretty clearly, the open claimers are carded which has me asking the question. (The alternative is that NYRA needed this race in order to fill out today's eight race card.)
