Similar to what they do with A.E. horses that don't draw in, they always get in the next time they enter.
They have a jacked up system down there. They have turf and dirt dates (if you run on the dirt it doesn't effect your turf date) and if you run in an 'off the turf' race you get a special date which means you get first preference in your next spot, even over zero date horses.

There is no rhyme or reason at all. I will say they are actually bringing races back the next day that have 40 entries (mdn 32k on the turf for example)
