i never knew this was illegal because i have seen it done many times before and never saw someone get a fine for doing it.

the main problem with the claiming game these days is that the purses are worth more than the horses in slot enhanced tracks. no question in my mind is that the big purses have hurt this game immensely, it makes for very lopsided races these days and higher percentage of favorites winning.
