A reasonable alternative might be to find a lower level Allowance (or optional claim where if not running for a tag the horse will carry more weight) in order to run protected, but you're still likely running against tougher competition than whatever your last claim/condition level was.

I don't understand why anyone would think such a minor variance to protect an owner from losing his horse is a slight against betters. It isn't at all unusual for a horse to need one or more starts after layoff to resume his best racing form.


I fail to see what's the big deal.
