"4038.4.Sale, transfer restricted.
If a horse is claimed it shall not be sold or transferred to anyone wholly or in part, except
in a claiming race, for a period of 30 days from the date of the claim.
A claimed horse shall not, unless reclaimed, remain in the same stable or under the control or
management of its former owner or trainer for a like period.
A claimed horse shall not race outside New York State for a period of 30 days from the date of the claim or the
end of the meeting at which it was claimed, whichever period of time is longer, except
that a horse may run in a sweepstakes elsewhere for which the horse was nominated
by its former owner or trainer, or if permission is granted by the stewards. "
Looks like if this happened a few days later there would have been no fine at all and a legit transaction....Appears there is a 30 day waiting period....Not a big deal it seems...but it cost horsemen some real money by not following the rules precisely, I guess...
