An example would be Acting Out, running today at Santa Anita (Sunday 1/10/21). She won N1X at Del Mar on Nov. 7, and another N1X at Los Alamitos on Dec. 11.

The conditions of the 2 races at Del Mar and Los Al were more or less identical - the difference - the surface switch.
From a Brad Free DRF article before Acting Out ran at Los Al:
"Acting Out crushed an entry-level allowance turf sprint by more than five lengths last out at Del Mar; she retains N1X eligibility because she is switching surfaces."
I know I had originally thought this was a Cal-bred restricted race thing - that's the way Santa Anita described it in a release. Maybe Los Al opened it up for all horses, not just state-breds?
