Usually the ones in the east are different. The aren't NW2, they are for horses that have started for a designated price (or lower) in a certain timeframe, usually the last year or two. There used to be a lot more of these and trainers would often try to slip a horse through a race to get it eligible for starter races. I'm sure it still goes on, but they used to be much more prevalent.
Rapid Redux's 22 race winning streak contained 18 of these races. It started in a race where he was in for an 8k tag, and he had run for cheaper tags before that.
