Race Conditions
I see some allowance races with no conditions listed, but instead, something like "Allowance,for 4 year olds and upward (condition eligibility).
What does this mean? Is it just open to all, or is there a meaning to condition eligibility?
(Races are from Tampa Bay)

It means open to all comers. Usually used as a prep for future stakes. Condition eligibility is just the racing office's way of preferring higher quality more accomplished horses over cheaper types.

ya, but one would think they would use the word "preffered"...
*but because they didnt use the word "preffered", something tells me they flat out wont use a 2L,3L,4L horse in an open ALW?...

Those are odd things to not pay any attention to.

How do you know?
You never look at conditions.
VIC - Thanks, I thought it meant open, but not sure.

Mack: I was thinking the same thing..........It was a good question at the beginning of the thread and something I "pound" into my students' heads all the time: "YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO READ CONDITIONS INSIDE OUT TO HAVE ANY CHANCE OF BEING A SOLID HANDICAPPER"!
This of course, also includes maiden races...........

I respect your opinion but in all fairness if you saw a Msw horse entered in a state bred Msw race,wouldn't you pay attention to the state bred condition with a horse who has been running in open company?

Ironic, as your 90% Mdn plays are all about conditions.

When I played at DHC on a daily basis. I didn't read the conditions of a race at all..You know the rest of the story..
For the rest of you.
I'm sure conditions of a race have gotten you to bet and not bet on a particular horse. It goes both ways.
