I think this is related to the topic re: NYRA's "hustling" to fill races, but I followed the horse Divine Oath, who was claimed by David Jacobson and entered (and ran once) in a series of $10k claiming races. Long story short, he was rescued by Robert Masiello and West Point, but in the stories, Jacobson is quoted second-hand:
Calls were put in to Jacobson, who told them he no plans to run Divine Oath in the race. He had merely entered Divine Oath in the race so that it would be carded.
Which explains his and Rice's incessant enter/scratching. Interesting.
