Voided claim well after the fact

[SG4]

Anyone with insight as to what happened here - Spirit Animal won at Belmont on 6/14 & was claimed for 50k. He was entered back for new connections on 7/4 at Belmont but was scratched that day. Now he's entered again for Saturday at Saratoga, but under his connections from the 6/14 race & the chart from that day now says claim was voided for an administrative reason. Wondering what could have possibly triggered the claim being voided several weeks after the fact?

good question.

I also don't know the Bebe Banker (today, r8) story. (similar 'admin' voided-claim)

I was under the impression that voided claims were generally for lameness or bleeding.

If that were the case, I would expect to see either a health condition or a 'veterinary' designation, as opposed to an administrative designation.

Maybe they didn't pay the Aftercare fee?

Administrative reasons why a claim could be voided could be a mistake on the claim slip. Misspelling, incorrect date.

Sometimes an "open claim" license will be issued and then there's a problem with that. Could be another reason.

I have seen a misspelling voided at the time of the claim, never weeks later.

Is there a chance the void happened on the claim date and wasn't disseminated until much later?

He was entered, then scratched, under the new connections.

Story's on twitter about what happened here, some drama involved, here's the readers digest version from what I gathered: According to one of the owners who made the claim, they privately sold a % of the horse a week after the claim & Chad Brown eventually found this out & let the stewards know, which led to a voiding of the claim because you can't privately sell a claimed horse within 30 days of the claim.
