You set the horse up to get claimed only to get it back --- now what could possibly be wrong with that?

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.

"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...

Both trainers should be a long suspension. They knew the rules and broke them. Does racing have no integrity at all????
Cheaters do what they do I guess.

The sheer amount of "ways to cheat" these days has become arimethic in proportion.
I wasn't aware of "this way". Just add it to the list of ways to cheat I guess.

There should have been a stupidity fine for not knowing you have to wait 30 days before you can transfer, sell or release ownership in a claimed horse. The issue here is how many times do you see a claimer go right back to the trainer that just lost the horse, lots!
