This means there is no limit to how many wins a 3yo has but horses 4 and up are limited just like the NW2L. Generally the horses to look for first in such conditions then are the 3 yo with more than one win, then to a 3yo or a 4yo with a very small number of starts.

And to add to that occasionally an open beaten claiming event won't have a condition (NW{x}L), but will allot a significant weight break to 3yos.
Optional Claiming is fairly straight forward; (1) you either meet the conditions or enter for the tag, or (2) opt to save the condition by entering for a tag.
I don't generally follow NY racing, but a Starter Claiming event sounds like an oxymoron. I can only guess it is an OC with an additional stipulation that you have to have started for a specified price to enter.
NY Breds get an additional allowance condition
IN NY - I don't recall the exact formula, but I think that you have to win an Open Company N1X, then you are still eligible for state restricted N1X....Or it could be the other way around...Parsixfarms would be the go to guy for the details
