I don't know if they do it anymore as I don't follow Penn, but when I had horses there they would have conditioned n1y races in the following claim levels:
4,000
5,000
7,500
10,000
12,500
16,000
Oftentimes the 7.5k n1y races would exclude wins at the 4k level and below, 10k excluded 5k and below, 16k excluded 10k etc...
A 4k claimer getting into form could make a fortune winning the 4k, then the 7,500, then 12,500,etc...all while racing against horses that haven't won in a year plus. A few sharp trainers like Beattie back 10 years ago would claim at the 5k level raise up to a n1y and win.
